Action-oriented Weblog to Support Academic

In this paper, we propose a system called ActionLog which supports authoring and sharing Weblog contents for the purposes of reviewing support and communication support on Academic Conferences. ActionLog collects users' actions from other information systems placed at a conference site, and automatically generates drafts of Weblog contents based on the action contexts. Users can edit and publish entries according to their will. We implemented and applied the system on an actual academic conference as a field test. The result shows that the system was used both for reviewing their activities and for communicating other participants.
