Who's working on Personal Information Management?

Authored by Richard Boardman, Imperial College London (July 2003):

• This page is an ongoing attempt to survey current efforts directed at understanding and improving interfaces for Personal Information Management (PIM for short), defined as: the collecting and handling of information (such as files, email and contacts) by an individual, for that individual's own use.
• Whittaker, Terveen and Nardi (2000) note the lack of systematic research within HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) directed at core everyday computing tasks. HCI conferences continue to be dominated by radical technological invention in areas such as virtual reality and ubiquitous computing. Because of this emphasis HCI is not paying enough attention to the problems encountered in "the tasks carried out by millions of users multiple times a day" (Whittaker et al. 2000). And whats more: there is mounting evidence (both scientific and anecdotal) of the problems encountered by users in these everyday tasks - tasks such as PIM.
• Despite the relative lack of published research on PIM, there are a number of ongoing efforts aimed at understanding user needs, and improving interface support for this fundamental everyday computing activity. This page is an attempt to survey it.
• The page is divided into two sections: (1) researchers/developers/groups and, (2) systems/prototypes. The focus is mainly on research being carried out in the field of HCI. However I've also included researchers from other academic fields, and also commercial companies/open-source developers. The emphasis is on people/companies doing active research/development.
• I hope its useful! Watch this space for future additions! If you have any suggestions of people to add, please let me know.
