Network-based interaction

TL;DR: Asynchronous Active Values is described, a framework for the production of reactive web interfaces that use API-based web service back-ends that extends existing methods such as access-oriented programming and the observer pattern by including a 'changing' event in addition to the normal 'onChange' to enable intermediate feedback.

TL;DR: This monograph will present an overview of universal usability as it currently exists in the human–computer interaction literature, and will also present some future directions for work in universal usability.

TL;DR: A study of shared editor use is discussed which suggests that awareness information provided and exploited passively through the shared workspace, allows users to move smoothly between close and loose collaboration, and to assign and coordinate work dynamically.

TL;DR: This paper shows that disconnected operation is feasible, efficient and usable by describing its design and implementation in the Coda File System by showing that caching of data, now widely used for performance, can also be exploited to improve availability.

TL;DR: The concept of Personal Area Networks (PANs) is presented to demonstrate how electronic devices on and near the human body can exchange digital information by capacitively coupling picoamp currents through the body.

TL;DR: An algorithm for concurrency control in real-time groupware systems is presented and its advantages are its simplicity of use and its responsiveness: users can operate directly on the data without obtaining locks.
