Heidi, Tamara	??	Visual Exploratory Data Analysis Tool At Work: Real-World Analysis of Noisy Complex Data	Field session of Session Viewer, a visualization tool for web session logs	Sept 11 (or earlier, but after Aug 24)
Peter, Tamara		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.

Leah, Joanna	Tony, ?	TBD	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.	before Aug 31st
Leah, Joanna	?, ?	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.
