Associative personal information management

14 years 11 months ago
Associative personal information management
Personal information management (PIM) is an important and hard research problem. Previous systems suffer inflexibility because of strict hierarchies and immobility. I present an alternative approach, based on associations and moving beyond today's desktop metaphor, to provide ways of managing information while mobile. To illustrate the concepts, I introduce the Associative PDA, a prototype we have designed and evaluated. Finally, I discuss some design principles, which will guide my future work. Keywords Personal information management, mobile, associations, associative network. ACM Classification Keywords H.5.m. Information Interfaces and Presentation (e.g., HCI): Miscellaneous, H.3.3. Information Systems: Information Search and Retrieval.
