ABSTRACT

In an ideal world, we would always have the right information, in the right form, with the right context, right when we needed it. Unfortunately, we do not live in an ideal world. This workshop looks at how people in the real world manage to process massive amounts of information, and discusses how tools can bring real information interactions closer to the ideal.
