Modern work is highly communication-centric. Research shows the critical role that communication applications- in particular email- play in everyday work. Email is used to organize and delegate...
Thomas P. Moran, Shumin Zhai, Victor Kaptelinin, Mary Czerwinski (editors
The ubiquitous use of the desktop metaphor as the primary means of interacting with information is perhaps the earliest, and arguably the most profound, landmark of user interface design. Ironically,...
ABSTRACT Pen-Based Interaction Techniques For Organizing Material on an Electronic Whiteboard (2008)
Thomas P. Moran, Patrick Chiu, William Van Melle
This paper presents a scheme for extending an informal, penbased whiteboard system (the Tivoli application on the Xerox LiveBoard) to provide interaction techniques that enable groups of users in...
GroupSense: Omnipresent Awareness Information (2007)
Andreas Dieberger, Eser K, Thomas P. Moran, Barton A. Smith
GroupSense is a suite of awareness tools for a medium size workgroup informing group members of people’s in/out state and information of interest, such as talk announcements. Contrary to instant...
ABSTRACT Tailorable Domain Objects as Meeting Tools for an Electronic Whiteboard (2007)
Thomas P. Moran, William Van Melle, Patrick Chiu
Our goal is to provide tools to support working meetings on an electronic whiteboard, called Tivoli. This paper describes how we have integrated structured “domain objects” into the whiteboard...
Shared landmarks in complex coordination environments. CHI 2005 Extended Abstracts (2005)
Michael J. Muller, John C. Tang, Olga Kuchinskaya, Thomas P. Moran, Suzanne O. Minassian, Chen Zhao
We explore the concept of social landmarks in complex, shared information and coordination environments. Previous research in navigation and shared spaces has tended to emphasize individual...
Most computer support of collaborative work is organized around tools for communicating and for sharing materials. Email is the prime communication tool, and it is probably the most used tool. It is...
Encountering Awareness Information with GroupSense Displays and Tools (2002)
Andreas Dieberger, Bogdan Dorohonceanu, Stephen Farrell, Beverly Harrison, Eser Kandogan, Eser K, ...
GroupSense is a suite of awareness tools for a medium size workgroup. GroupSense shows people's daily in/out state and other information of interest, such as talk announcements. Contrary to...
ABSTRACT Tivoli: Integrating Structured Domain Objects into (2000)
Thomas P. Moran, William Van Melle
Tivoli is an application program to support working meet-ings on an electronic whiteboard. Tivoli's user interface is based on a whiteboard metaphor. It supports freeform expression by providing...

A Collaborage is a collaborative collage of physically represented information on a surface that is connected with electronic information, such as a physical In/Out board connected to a...
Embodied User Interfaces for Really Direct Manipulation (1999)
Kenneth P. Fishkin, Anuj Gujar, Beverly L. Harrison, Thomas P. Moran, Roy Want
this paper we illustrate embodied user interface techniques by considering paper document handling tasks. People have developed a highly refined set of physical techniques to perform these document...
Spatial interpretation of domain objects integrated into a freeform electronic whiteboard (1998)
Thomas P. Moran, William Van Melle, Patrick Chiu
Our goal is to provide tools to support working meetings on an electronic whiteboard, called Tivoli. This paper describes how we have integrated structured domain objects, which represent the subject...
Mapping the Method Muddle: Guidance in Using Methods for User Interface Design. (1997)
Olson, Judith S., Moran, Thomas P.
This overview shows that there is considerable progress in providing ways to design useful, usable, and learnable user interfaces. Many new methods have been developed since the 1983 NRC report, and...
I’ll Get That Off the Audio”: A case study of salvaging multimedia meeting records (1997)
Thomas P. Moran, Leysia Palen, Steve Harrison, Patrick Chiu, Don Kimber, Scott Minneman, ...
We describe a case study of a complex, ongoing, collaborative work process, where the central activity is a series of meetings reviewing a wide range of subtle technical topics. The problem is the...
Evolutionary engagement in an ongoing collaborative work process: A case study (1996)
Thomas P. Moran, Patrick Chiu, Steve Harrison, Gordon Kurtenbach, Scott Minneman, William Van Melle
We describe a case study in which experimental collaboration technologies were used for over two years in the real, ongoing work process of intellectual property management (IPM) at Xerox PARC. The...
Perceptual Organization in an Interactive Sketch Editing Application (1995)
This paper shows how techniques from computational vision can be deployed to support interactive sketch editing. While conventional computersupported drawing tools give users access to visible marks...
A Perceptually-Supported Sketch Editor (1994)
The human visual system makes a great deal more of images than the elemental marks on a surface. In the course of viewing, creating, or editing a picture, we actively construct a host of visual...
