A Graphical, Self-Organizing Approach to Classifying Electronic Meeting Output.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Orwig, Richard E.; Chen, Hsinchun; Nunamaker, Jay F., Jr. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1997
Describes research using an artificial intelligence approach in the application of a Kohonen Self-Organizing Map (SOM) to the problem of classification of electronic brainstorming output and an evaluation of the results. The graphical representation of textual data produced by the Kohonen SOM suggests many opportunities for improving information…

Writing with Collaborative Hypertext: Analysis and Modeling.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Chen, Chaomei – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1997
Explores an approach to analysis and modeling of computer-supported collaborative writing, which captures the structure of user behavior as they interact with a computer system. Shows that patterns of interactive behaviors of the users were influenced by the system design. Suggests that this approach is worth pursuing and may be integrated with…

An Informal Information-Seeking Environment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hendry, David G.; Harper, David J. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1997
Investigates how an informal computerized environment, or workspace, can support information seeking. Outlines the design space for information-seeking environments and presents a prototype, SketchTrieve, a graphic editor. Discusses how this environment might support information-seeking in ways not available in other more overdetermined systems.…
