Ploderer, Bernd, Howard, Steve and Thomas, Peter (2008): Being online, living offline: the influence of social ties over the appropriation of social network sites. In: Proceedings of ACM CSCW08 Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work 2008. pp. 333-342. Available online

“Research on social network sites has examined how people integrate offline and online life, but with a particular emphasis on their use by friendship groups. We extend earlier work by examining a case in which offline ties are non-existent, but online ties strong. Our case is a study of bodybuilders, who explore their passion with like-minded offline 'strangers' in tightly integrated online communities. We show that the integration of offline and online life supports passion-centric activities, such as bodybuilding.”

Thomas, Peter and MacRedie, Robert (2002): Introduction to the new usability. In ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, 9 (2) pp. 69-73

“This paper introduces the motivation for and concept of the "new usability" and positions it against existing approaches to usability. It is argued that the contexts of emerging products and systems mean that traditional approaches to usability engineering and evaluation are likely to prove inappropriate to the needs of "digital consumers." The paper briefly reviews the contributions to this special issue in terms of their relation to the idea of the "new usability" and their individual approaches to dealing with contemporary usability issues. This helps provide a background to the "new usability" research agenda, and the paper ends by posing what are argued to be the central challenges facing the area and those which lie at the heart of the proposed research agenda.”

Thomas, Peter and Mital, Vijay (1992): Hypertext Document Retrieval and Assembly in Legal Domains. In: Monk, Andrew, Diaper, Dan and Harrison, Michael D. (eds.) Proceedings of the Seventh Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers VII August 15-18, 1992, University of York, UK. pp. 243-256.

“This paper describes an approach to information retrieval for legal document assembly which differs significantly from previous approaches. The approach exploits the features of hypertext in combination with active links between text units to help guide the user through often complex and interrelated fragments of information. The approach exploits the idea of semantically differentiated links within a hypertext environment without reliance on problematic knowledge-based techniques. This paper describes the way in which semantically-differentiated links are employed and outlines the architecture and operation of a system which is based on these ideas.”
