ABSTRACT
Personal information management (PIM) is an important and hard research problem. Previous systems suffer inflexibility because of strict hierarchies and immobility. I present an alternative approach, based on associations and moving beyond today's desktop metaphor, to provide ways of managing information while mobile. To illustrate the concepts, I introduce the Associative PDA, a prototype we have designed and evaluated. Finally, I discuss some design principles, which will guide my future work.

The associative pda 2.0
CHI EA '08: CHI '08 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn this paper I describe the Associative PDA 2.0, a mobile system for Personal Information Management (PIM), based on an associative information network. In addition to associate items manually, context information is used for defining associations and ...
Personal information search on mobile devices
Mobility '07: Proceedings of the 4th international conference on mobile technology, applications, and systems and the 1st international symposium on Computer human interaction in mobile technologyThe more things can be saved and done with mobile phones, the more it becomes difficult to find what you are looking for. It was easy when one just saved phone numbers with names of friends, but as the devices have become more resourceful, their usage ...
