Proceedings ArticleDOI
Introducing instant messaging and chat in the workplace
TL;DR: The experiences of introducing an instant messaging and group chat application into geographically distributed workgroups encountered a dilemma that imposes serious challenges for user-centered design of groupware systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mawl: a domain-specific language for form-based services
TL;DR: This work focuses on Mawl's form abstraction, which is the means for separating service logic from user interface description, and shows how this simple abstraction addresses seven issues in service creation, analysis, and maintenance.

TL;DR: Mawl and TelePortal provide a new way to create integrated services, as well as IVR services that require access from multiple devices, and the ability to develop such services in a single environment appears to be unique.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Using version control data to evaluate the impact of software tools
TL;DR: A simple methodology for tool evaluation is presented that correlates tool usage statistics with estimates of developer effort, as derived from a project's change history (version control system), which found that developers were approximately 36% more productive when using VE, a version-sensitive editor used in BellLabs.

Apparatus for visualizing program slices
TL;DR: In this article, a preferred embodiment for visualizing slices of transitive closures of entities having dependence relationships with one another is presented, where the user employs a pointing device to interactively select a reduced representation as the slice point and the apparatus computes the slice and changes the color of the reduced representations in the slice.
