2/19 Design (Swantje Willms, Vichita Vathanophas)

Chalmers, M. (1995). Design perspectives in visualizing complex information. Proceedings IFIP 3rd Visual Databases Conference.

Schon, D. A. (1984). Problems, frames and perspectives on designing. Design Studies, 132-136.

2/26 Real and Virtual Spaces (Bryan Sorrows)

* Witmer, B. G., Bailey, J. H., & Kerr, B. W. (1996). Virtual spaces and real world places: Transfer of route knowledge. Int. J. of Human-Computer Studies, 45, 413-428.

** Shum, S. (1990). Real and virtual spaces: Mapping from spatial cognition to hypertext. Hypermedia, 2, 133-158.

3/6 Spring Break -- No class

3/12 Hierarchies (Adrijana Car, Vichita Vathanophas)

* Holding, C. S. (1994). Further evidence for the hierarchical representation of spatial information. Journal of Environmental Psychology, 14, 137-147.

Furnas, G. W., Zacks, J. Multitrees: Enriching and reusing hierarchical structure. Proceedings of ACM Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI'94), Boston Ma, 330-336.

3/19 Hypermedia (Swantje Willms)

- Zizi, M., Beaudounin-Lafon, M. B. (1995). Hypermedia exploration with interactive dynamic maps. Int. J. of Human-Computer Studies, 43, 441-464.

This is about some sort of "interactive dynamic maps" that they create for hypermedia documents (primarily the web, I believe).

- Gaines, B. R., & Shaw, M. L. (1995). Concept maps as hypermedia components. Int. J. of Human-Computer Studies, 43, 323-361.

3/26 Tools (Read Fritsch, Venkat Kolluri)

I think it would also be interesting to look at some of the tools that allow one to get an overview of a hypermedia document collection. One I can think of is by Apple (it's called Project X, or Hot Sauce), and it looks at the structure of a web site, making a data space that you can fly through.

- Domel, P. (1995). Webmap: A graphical hypertext navigation tool. Computer Networks and ISDN Systems, 28:85-97.

This describes a system that creates and updates a two dimensional graphical map of a user's travel through the WWW.

- Lamm, S. E.., et al. (1996). Real time geographic visualization of world wide web traffic. Computer Networks and ISDN Systems, 28:1457-1468

This describes a VR system for real-time analysis and mapping of WWW servers to their geographic origins.

4/3 AAG Meeting -- No class
