| Everyone: Pick a paper or two to read, put your name next to the paper. Try to keep things even so everyone gets some help! It's probably a good idea to notify the author that you will be reading his/her paper so he/she can get you an up to date copy

Evaluation of a Role-Based Approach for Customizing a Complex Development Environment |
Coarse-grained approaches to customization allow the user to enable or disable groups of features at once, rather than individual features. While this could reduce the complexity of customization and encourage more users to customize their interfaces, the research challenges of designing such approaches have not been fully explored. To address this limitation, we conducted an interview study with 14 professional software developers who use an integrated development environment that provides a role-based, coarse-grained approach to customization. From the results, we identify challenges that are inherent in designing coarse-grained customization models, including issues of functionality partitioning, presentation, and individual differences. |

Participatory Design of a Network Management Visualization System |
We present the long-distance participatory design and initial field study results of LiveRAC, a scalable visualization system for monitoring computer systems and networking data. We describe the approach we took for iterating on the design, while managing the long-distance nature of the collaboration. Through this process we designed and developed LiveRAC through numerous phases, from paper prototypes to a deployed system that is being used by senior network engineers in a managed hosting services environment with thousands of monitored network assets. The LiveRAC visualization system shows alarm and metric data such as CPU usage and available memory for a large collection of machines simultaneously using semantic zooming, allowing the user to choose which servers to inspect with detailed charts while still showing a compressed view of the entire information space. |

We conducted a study to explore the effects of screen size and different levels of accuracy for adaptive menus on performance, subjective measures, and the user's overall awareness of the application's feature set. |

A previous study of Tablet PC pen interaction determined that selecting the top edge of the menu item below the target item was a major source of selection errors. We conducted a study to investigate two different approaches to correcting for this error, comparing them to each other and to a control condition. The first approach is to deactivate the top edge such that it functions as an invisible menu separator. The second is to reassign the top edge such that taps in this region are interpreted as selection of the item above, while leaving the visual appearance of the items unchanged. |
