Using collaborative filtering to weave an information tapestry
TL;DR: Tapestry is intended to handle any incoming stream of electronic documents and serves both as a mail filter and repository; its components are the indexer, document store, annotation store, filterer, little box, remailer, appraiser and reader/browser.

Managing update conflicts in Bayou, a weakly connected replicated storage system
TL;DR: Bayou as discussed by the authors is a replicated, weakly consistent storage system designed for a mobile computing environment that includes portable machines with less than ideal network connectivity, and it includes novel methods for conflict detection, called dependency checks, and per-write conflict resolution based on client-provid ed merge procedures.

Marvin M. Theimer,Michael J. Spreitzer,Mark D. Weiser,Richard J. Goldstein,Douglas B. Terry,William N. Schilit,Roy Want +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a method for selectively delivering electronic messages to an identified user or users in a system of mobile and fixed devices, including multiple display devices and multiple users, based on the context of the system and the environment of the identified user.
