Congratulations to Sam Thorogood on Apple (AUC) Innovation Seeding Grant
Posted by: CHAI, Mon 19 May, 2008
Congratulations to Sam Thorogood on winning an Apple University Consortium (AUC) Innovation Seeding Grant for 2008.
His thesis topic is titled "Who am I: Files and their identities":
"My research topic involves systems for maintaining identity, uniqueness and freshness through time and over multiple loosely-coupled systems. In more functional terms, I aim to investigate and develop personal information management (PIM) systems that empower individual users with the ability to track the history and lineage of their own files over time. This information can actually be imagined as a "family tree" of files. Obviously, my research goals will be supported by a development project. I plan to release practical, unobtrusive tools that will enhance user experience, while utilising the Mac OS X Finder. These tools will provide users with up-to-date information about any specified file, including information on its parents, siblings and children - that is, in the form of the family tree analogy described."
Congratulations to Greg Darke on Apple (AUC) Honours Scholarship

Congratulations to Greg Darke on winning an Apple AUC Honours Scholarship.
His thesis topic is "an activity driven file interface":
Modern task management typically requires the coordination of many digital resources - email, calendar items, documents and contacts. This information is becoming more distributed, moving online and across multiple devices - smart phones, laptops and desktop computers. As a result, coordinating all these devices and resources is becoming increasingly difficult, particularly when these tasks involve multiple people. Pervasive computing, in particular 'Activity based computing' can help alleviate this difficulty by seamlessly integrating resources. My research will focus on looking into methods that can be used to associate data with specific tasks, such as documents that are likely to be related to each other because they were used together. I will also be evaluating how effective these methods are.
