ArtistCentral is an online hub to bring artists and galleries
together, which automates and streamlines the current offline
interactions between them. Through this hub, artists can find
galleries that match their specialties and submit artworks to
the gallery, and they can also meet with fellow artists within
the virtual community. Using this hub, galleries can reduce the
cost of processing artist applications and find best talents
they want.

the actual links. CoBrowse users can see experts' recommendation
in real time while they are browsing. CoBrowse users can also
create private groups with their friends and share their
recommendations about the web resources.

Competition in DNS Governance
|
Camille LeBLanc
|
Courts and social regulators are confused over procedural issues
for DNS governance such as jurisdictional assignment, dispute
resolution and determining the appropriate location for DNS
regulatory functions within the spheres of political and social
organization. This paper explores the question of whether the
legal and economic consequences that could result in a world
of diverse, competing regulatory structures for DNS governance
produce something less then a first best outcome.

Contradictions in Things: an Ethnography of Archive Users
and Artifacts Users
|
Margo Dunlap
|
My topic is archive users and their research practices in
relation to artifacts. It gets at differences between physical
objects and their digital representations. I will present an
ethnographic research project on research practice and the

Cost of Capital Study for Telecommunications Utilities
|
Sridarshan Koundinya
|
Small rural local exchange carriers (LECs) have filed General
Rate Cases (GRCs) at the California Public Utilities Commission
(CPUC) through Application and Advice Letter Processes. They
have proposed intrastate rates of return in the range of 10%
to 12.25%. Filed testimony justifies an intrastate rate of
return in excess of 13%. The purpose of this study is to
determine a reasonable rate of return for a typical small
rural LEC in the USA using publicly available data.

|
CourseLinx is a web-based application that generates "course
syllabus" for instructors on Berkeley campus. In response to
complicated course management systems currently on-campus,
Berkeley's ETS developed CourseWeb, a light-weight system.
Our goal with CourseLinx is to provide a module for CourseWeb
that is easy to learn and efficient to use. CourseLinx aims
to significantly reduce users' administrative routine of
constructing a course syllabus.

Internet Archive & The Wayback Machine
|
Pallavi Aravind
Vanessa Arce
Peter Roessler
|
The Internet Archive is a comprehensive web-based digital library
that continually crawls all public internet pages and archives
them. These archived web sites are available for public access
through the Wayback Machine search service. The mission of this
project is to help the Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org),
specifically the Wayback Machine, understand and satisfy the
requirements of their growing user base. We will identify users
of the Wayback Machine, study user experience and behavior, and
finally make recommendations to enhance the user's experience
with the Wayback Machine.

Medical Dictation & Transcription Program (MDTP)
|
Carie Cazier
Linda Duffy
Sonia Klemperer-Johnson
|
The Medical Dictation & Transcription Program (MDTP) helps to
save lives. MDTP is a web-based medical system that provides
an audio player, automatic field population, text editing,
typing shortcuts and more. Doctors record patient information
and transcriptionists use MDTP to type that information into
reports. Not only are MDTP reports more accessible, clear,
and accurate, their turnaround time is reduced and time
previously spent on paper processes can be spent on more
important tasks.

Mnemosyne
|
Marie-Louise Cremer
Dhea Maloney
Mary Thomson
|
The Mnemosyne project deals with the organization and sharing
of personal memory documents in both physical and digital
environments. The project has involved building an online
system and exploring related social issues. The Mnemosyne
system allows people to manage personal memory documents,
such as photos or text files, and create sharable albums.
The system explores the idea of collaborative scrapbooking
by allowing multiple users to create an album together.

Rosa Ren
Nan Zhou
|
myHomework@SIMS is an information system designed for the SIMS
community to facilitate the exchange of documents between students
and professors, specifically, homework submissions and professor
feedback. In addition to using the system to help managing
submissions from students, professors can also use the system
to assist with some of the assignment planning and grading tasks.
Students would have a consistent way of submitting assignments,
receiving feedback, and tracking their overall progress. This
system could also be tied in to course websites and allow
students to easily share their work.

The Power of Networks and Flows: A Case Study on the Use and
the Impact of Information and Communication technology in the
Religious Practice of Chinese Christian Churches
|
Shirley Ou
|
This project is an exploratory case study of electronic churches.
I evaluate how Christian organizations adopt new information
communication technology, particularly the obstacles to the
appropriation of and the challenges to church authority
presented by new technology as well as the relationship
between real and virtual communities. I analyze the websites
of three Christian organizations: a church with a real community,
an association with virtual communities, and a volunteer
organization with self-organized ad hoc cells and virtual
communities. The results should serve as a basis for further
investigations of e-churches and recommendations to Christian
communities on management of information communication
technologies.

SDMRG Content Management System
|
Hong Cai
Christopher Marin
|
The primary mission of the Scientific Data Management Research
Group at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is to build
software tools that enable scientists to efficiently manage data.
For each project that has been created over the years they
produced publications, software components, meeting notes and
presentations. Some of these projects also have mini websites.
The current system of use results in the creation of a significant
amount of collateral data for each project undertaken. The purpose
of this project was to create a Content Management System that
allows the SDRM group to effectively organize, preserve, and
disseminate their work. The system was built using PHP and
Oracle DB on a Solaris server.

Serpents & Primitives: An ethnographic excursion into
an Open Source community
|
Dilan Mahendran
|
Much of the hype surrounding Open Source projects valorizes the
distributed and egalitarian nature of these technical communities.
My ethnography of the Python programming community shows that this
Open Source community is indeed distributed but hierarchical,
therefore challenging Eric Raymond's trope of Open Source
communities as frenzied bazaars of software production.

Street Stories
|
Craig Rixford
Mike Kim
Mahad Ibrahim
|
Street Stories uses handheld technology coupled with geographic
information systems to support the creation of complex community
narratives -- stories about an issue shared by a community told
over space and time, and from different perspectives. We hope to
illustrate the possibilities of this technology to enable people
to voice their opinions concerning the issues in their communities
and allow them to get a sense of the social life and histories
of other communities.

The Virtual Reference Desk
|
Ramona Martinez
|
A study of the technology options available to libraries wishing
to provide virtual reference services to users. Virtual
reference is a synchronous online communication between a
reference librarian and a library user who needs research
assistance. Various options exist - most include some form of
chat or instant messaging and some include the ability to "push"
web pages to the user. I will present usability assessment
results and discuss management and privacy issues.

WhereIS: A locating service
|
Yueh-Ying Hsu
Mengzhi Hu
Kyung-min Kim
John Yiu
|
The project is to build a customized item locating system with
a map interface, supplement to current library online catalogs.
When a user searches for a bibliographic item, the search result
will not only display the textual bibliographic record, but also
visualize its physical location on a map, from the targeted
building, the floor, to the stack.
