“…Most participants (20/23) use at least one blackboard or whiteboard in their office or in meeting rooms. These boards offer a large working space for free-hand sketching and writing, supporting fluid collocated collaboration [27,40].…”

Knowledge management and sharing involves a variety of specialized but isolated software tools, tied together by the files that these tools use and produce. We interviewed 23 scientists and found that they all had difficulties using the file system to keep track of, re-find and maintain consistency among related but distributed information. We introduce FileWeaver, a system that automatically detects dependencies among files without explicit user action, tracks their history, and lets users interact directly with the graphs representing these dependencies and version history. Changes to a file can trigger recipes, either automatically or under user control, to keep the file consistent with its dependants. Users can merge variants of a file, e.g. different output formats, into a polymorphic file, or morph, and automate the management of these variants. By making dependencies among files explicit and visible, FileWeaver facilitates the automation of workflows by scientists and other users who rely on the file system to manage their data.

“…Sketch programs are primarily designed for stylus interaction; their goal is to simulate the freeform writing of textual notes and sketching of drawings afforded by a physical pen or pencil on a surface. Examples include paint programs, the Tivoli electronic whiteboard program [7] and the notetaking applications for the Apple Newton and the Microsoft Tablet PC. The primary data type consists of digital ink, where the basic unit is the stroke, which records the spatio-temporal trajectory of the pen/stylus (and sometimes additional properties) from touchdown to lifting from the surface.…”

This paper offers a solution to the mode problem in computer sketch/notetaking programs. Conventionally, the user must specify the intended "draw" or "command" mode prior to performing a stroke. This necessity has proven to be a barrier to the usability of pen/stylus systems. We offer a novel Inferred-Mode interaction protocol that avoids the mode hassles of conventional sketch systems. The system infers the user's intent, if possible, from the properties of the pen trajectory and the context of the trajectory. If the intent is ambiguous, the user is offered a choice mediator in the form of a pop-up button. To maximize the fluidity of drawing, the user is entitled to ignore the mediator and continue drawing. We present decision logic for the inferred mode protocol, and discuss subtleties learned in the course of its development. We also present results of initial user trials validating the usability of this interaction design.
