We introduce research on information scraps. short, self-contained personal notes that fall outside of traditional filing schemes. We report on a preliminary study of information scraps. nature and outline plans for the next phase of our user study. Based on ongoing study results, we describe our designs and prototypes for information scrap capture and access tools.

A prototype of computing technology.as a means to evaluate and communicate a good idea.is often an essential step towards useful, shipping products and towards a deeper understanding of what people really need. Prototyping and user evaluation can be enormously expensive and failure rates are high. Moreover, prototype user evaluations are often far from real with respect to user representatives, tasks, and measures. But to.get real. in HCI prototyping and evaluations risks placing even greater (more unrealistic) demands upon the HCI researcher. Do very real costs and constraints force HCI prototyping to the margins? Can we change acceptable HCI prototyping methods, helping HCI prototyping "get real," in both its conduct and in the implications of its results.

Experts in the field of HCI have spoken at length about how to increase the strategic influence of User Experience Design (UXD) teams in industry [3]. Some have offered courses in HCI management [1]. Others have presented recommendations on how to prove a return on investment for usability-related activities [2]. This SIG is an extension of the CHI experience report.The Internal Consultancy Model for Strategic UXD Relevance,. [5] and explores four common UXD organizational models. In this SIG, we will develop a SWOT analysis (analyzing Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) of each model. The SIG will facilitate a systematic exploration by attendees whose organizations follow, or are considering, one or more of these models. It will result in a broader understanding for managers of UXD teams on how they can optimally structure their internal UXD functions, given their unique corporate environments and cultures.

Online health communities provide a means for patients and their families to learn about an illness, seek and offer support, and connect with others in similar circumstances. Online health communities raise difficult design challenges because of the wide variability of members. medical expertise, health literacy, and technology literacy, and the potential severity of problems due to misinformation. The importance of online health communities is evidenced by their popularity, as well as the significant impact they have on the lives of their members. This Special Interest Group (SIG) will explore current trends in online health communities and how the design and evaluation expertise of the CHI community can benefit and improve online health community research and development.

We describe content-aware layout (CAL), a technique that automatically arranges windows on a user.s desktop. Unlike conventional window managers that automatically cascade or tile each window without regard to its content, CAL uses information about the contents of windows to help decide if and where they should be placed. We present the approach to designing CAL, as well as its implementation. We then conclude with a discussion about future work and CAL.s potential use in large display environments.

In current theories of web navigation, link evaluation has been treated primarily as a bottom-up process involving assessing the semantic distance between a search goal and a given link in the information source. In this paper we investigate whether link evaluation could be subject to top-down influence from knowledge of the information source. We measured fixation durations that occurred during link evaluation and found shorter durations in the search for easy goals. This preliminary finding suggests that for goals with category names readily retrievable from knowledge of the information source, search is likely aided by top-down influences.

I/O Brush is our ongoing effort to empower people to create new expressions and meanings by painting with attributes of everyday objects and movements in their physical world. Using examples from our case studies with kindergarteners and artists, we discuss I/O Brush's most distinguishing features, its dynamic ink and history functions, and how they enable people to invent new expressions and meaning making with objects in their physical environment.

We present an initial exploration of bluejacking, the practice of using Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones to send unsolicited messages to other Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones within a transmission range of 10 meters. A content analysis was conducted on 427 bluejacks from Bluejackq, an online community of bluejackers, in which the contextual characteristics of bluejacking were examined. Bluejacking was found to be highly location-dependent, primarily transpiring in everyday public places. The message content of the bluejacks was also inspired by the physical location where bluejacking took place. We also discuss implications of bluejacking with regards to its relationship to public space and comment on how these findings are relevant to mobile social computing.

Previous research has shown that orientation and territory serve key roles during tabletop collaboration. However, no one has yet investigated whether they can play similar roles in distributed collaboration. In this paper, we design and implement distributed tabletops to address this problem and hence improve distributed collaboration. We show that distributed tabletops allowgeographically-separated collaborators to use orientation and territory to mediate their interactions as they would in co-located collaboration. We also suggest that distributed tabletops offer further benefits such as an increased sense of presence.
