The conception of a new generation of computer systems was developed by a team of scientists from USSR Academy of Sciences, academies of USSR republics, academies of COMECON countries in 1984-85. The conception contained main directions of computing technology and informatics development in the socialist countries. Additionally, it prescribed the main directions of research and development that...

In the last years several top-quality papers utilized temporary Desktop data and/or browsing activity logs for experimental evaluation. Building a common testbed for the Personal Information Management community is thus becoming an indispensable task. In this paper we present a possible dataset design and discuss the means to create it.

An evolutionary psychological perspective has much to offer the study of Internet behavior. However, cyber-psychologists have hitherto neglected this rich theoretical tradition and evolutionary psychologists have been slow to apply their perspective to computer-mediated behavior. This paper applies an evolutionary perspective to the study of Internet behavior in four relevant domains: (1) matin...

We present the concept of associative information spaces and their use for group collaboration in interactive spaces. This concept is based on the associative network, which we have shown to be beneficial to the user in the domain of personal information management. We propose to extend this network to allow connections between multiple information spaces, to allow seamless information sharing ...

To improve Personal Information Management (PIM), we propose to extend static files in static file systems by augmenting documents with controllable and programmable behavioural properties. Files with behaviours may aid the user by reacting to their actions, common tasks, and other files; e.g. the document dances when a report reaches the word-limit; when a document is added to a directory, the...

Memory has long since been acknowledged to be important to the processes involved in Personal Information Management, especially to re-finding previously accessed information. Nevertheless, relatively little is known about the role that memory plays in these processes or how the user’s recollections should be supported. Focusing, on email re-finding, this article investigates the relationship b...
