organization into an office worker's work station in
order to support the office worker in problem solving.
A particular approach to reasoning about change and
contradiction is discussed. This approach uses OMEGA's
viewpoint mechanism, which is a general
contradiction-handing facility. Unlike other knowledge
representation systems, when a contradiction is reached
the reasons for the contradiction can be analyzed by
the deduction mechanism without having to resort to
search mechanisms such as a backtracking. The viewpoint
mechanism is the heart of the problem-solving support
paradigm, a paradigm which supplements the classical AI
view of problem solving. An example is presented in
which OMEGA's facilities are used to support an office
worker's problem-solving activities. The example
illustrates the use of viewpoints and of OMEGA's
capabilities to reason about its own reasoning
processes.",

on the way professional and clerical office workers
organize the information in their desks and offices. A
number of implications for designing ``natural'' and
convenient computer-based information systems are
discussed. Two principal claims are made: (1) A very
important function of desk organization is to remind
the user of things to do, not just to help the user
find desired information. Failing to support this
function may seriously impair the usefulness of
electronic office systems, and explicitly facilitating
it may provide an important advantage for automated
office systems over their nonautomated predecessors.
(2) The cognitive difficulty of categorizing
information is an important factor in explaining how
people organize their desks. Computer-based systems may
help with this difficulty by (a) doing as much
automatic classification as possible (e.g., based on
access dates), and (b) including untitled ``piles'' of
information arranged by physical location as well as
explicitly titled and logically arranged ``files.''
Several other implications for the design of electronic
office systems are discussed, and some differences in
how people organize their desks are described.",

applications in an open-network architecture where
there are nodes from diverse sources and one node does
not trust authentication checking done by other nodes.
Furthermore, in some offices encryption will be
required to authenticate data transmissions despite
hostile intruders on the network. Requirements and
design constraints when applying encryption for
authentication in office systems are discussed. It is
suggested that protocol standards for use in office

distributed environment is considered, and the
clearinghouse, a decentralized agent for supporting the
naming of these ``network-visible'' objects, is
described. The objects ``known'' to the clearinghouse
are of many types and include workstations, file
servers, print servers, mail servers, clearinghouse
servers, and human user. All objects known to the
clearinghouse are named using the same convention, and
the clearinghouse provides information about objects in
a uniform fashion, regardless of their type. The
clearinghouse also supports aliases. The clearinghouse
binds a name to a set of properties of various types.
For instance, the name of a user may be associated with
the location of his local workstation, mailbox, and
nonlocation information such as password and comments.
The clearinghouse is decentralized and replicated. That
is, instead of one global clearinghouse server, there
are many local clearinghouse servers, each storing a
copy of a portion of the global database. The totality
of services supplied by these clearinghouse servers is
called ``the clearinghouse.'' Decentralization and
replication increase efficiency, security, and
reliability. A request to the clearinghouse to bind a
name to its set of properties may originate anywhere in
the system and be directed to any clearinghouse server.
A clearinghouse client need not be concerned with the
question of which clearinghouse server actually
contains the binding -- the clearinghouse stub in the
client in conjunction with distributed clearinghouse
servers automatically finds the mapping if it exists.
Updates to the various copies of a mapping may occur
asynchronously and be interleaved with requests for
bindings of names to properties; updates to the various
copies are not treated as indivisible transactions. Any
resulting inconsistency between the various copies is
only transient: the clearinghouse automatically
arbitrates between conflicting updates to restore
consistency.",

empirical studies of alternative methods of training

that are central to office functions. Some office tasks
are readily implemented with generic office tools, such

however, involve complex sequences of actions which do
not all correspond to tool invocations but, instead,
rely on the problem-solving abilities of office
workers. In this paper we describe a system (POISE)
that can be used to both automate routine tasks and
provide assistance in more complex situations. The type
of assistance provided can range from maintaining a
record of the tasks currently being executed to
suggesting possible next steps and answering natural
language queries about the tasks. The POISE system uses
both a procedure-based and a goal-based representation
of the tasks to achieve efficiency and flexibility. The
mechanisms used by POISE are described with example
procedures from a university office.",

effect their own processing. Logical routing of
messages in an office information system is a function
that can benefit from such intelligent processing. A
framework and language are introduced for the
specification of logical routing for messages in an
office information system. By associating routing
specifications with message types, the system assumes
the responsibility both for evaluating the current
message instance state to yield the next destination
for the instance and for forwarding the instance. The
user is freed from the need to direct explicitly each
instance of a message type. The routing specifications
are based on a variety of criteria, including message
instance state and system characteristics. A routing
specification language is described, with examples, and
an implementation for a distributed workstation
environment is outlined.",

problems associated with using taxonomies for such

the assumption of technological validity. In this paper
these assumptions are examined, their weaknesses and

developed and problems encountered during the design,
implementation, and experimental use of a portable
natural language processor. Datalog (for ``database
dialogue'') is an experimental natural language query
system, which was designed to achieve a maximum degree
of portability and extendability. Datalog uses a
three-level architecture to provide both portability of
syntax to new and extended tasks and portability of
semantics to new database applications. The
implementation of each of the three levels, the
structures and conventions that control the
interactions among them, and the way in which different
aspects of the design contribute to portability are
described. Finally, two specific, implemented examples
are presented, showing how it was possible to transport
or extend Datalog by changing only one ``layer'' of the
system's knowledge and achieve correct processing of
the extended input by the entire system.",

solutions encountered in making the ASK System
transportable. A natural language system can be
``transportable'' in a number of ways. Although
transportability to a new domain is most prominent,
other ways are also important if the system is to have
viability in the commercial marketplace. On the one
hand, transporting a system to a new domain may start
with the system prior to adding any domain of knowledge
and extend it to incorporate the new domain. On the
other hand, one may wish to add to a system that
already has knowledge of one domain the knowledge
concerning a second domain, that is, to extend the
system to cover this second domain. In the context of
ASK, it has been natural to implement extending and
then achieve transportability as a special case. In
this paper, we consider six ways in which the ASK
System can be extended to include new capabilities: --
to a new domain, -- to a new object type, -- to access
data from a foreign database, -- to a new natural
language, -- to a new programming language, -- to a new
computer family. Special-purpose applications, such as
those to accommodate standard office tasks, would make
use of these various means of extension.",

database systems are united into a loosely coupled
federation in order to share and exchange information.
A federation consists of components (of which there may
be any number) and a single federal dictionary. The
components represent individual users, applications,
workstation, or other components in an office
information system. The federal dictionary is a
specialized component that maintains the topology of
the federation and oversees the entry of new
components. Each component in the federation controls
its interactions with other components by means of an
export schema and an import schema. The export schema
specifies the information that a component will share
with other components, while the import schema
specifies the nonlocal information that a component
wishes to manipulate. The federated architecture
provides mechanisms for sharing data, for sharing
transactions (via message types) for combining
information from several components, and for
coordinating activities among autonomous components
(via negotiation). A prototype implementation of the
federated database mechanism is currently operational
on an experimental basis.",

the principles of the relational data model or
familiarity with the organization of the particular
database being accessed. It is especially helpful when
retrieval targets are vague or cannot be specified
satisfactorily. BAROQUE establishes a view of the
relational database that resembles a semantic network,
and provides several intuitive functions for scanning
it. The network integrates both schema and data, and
supports access by value. BAROQUE can be implemented on
top of any basic relational database management system
but can be modified to take advantage of additional
capabilities and enhancements often present in
relational systems.",

illustrated by a case study of a rate-setting group in
a large health insurance firm. There is no formal
solution to the problem of due process. But it must be
solved in practice if distributed intelligent OISs are
to be developed. We propose an alternative approach
based on the work of social scientists concerned with
analyzing analogous problems in human organization.
Solution of the due process problem hinges on
developing local closures to the problem faced by an
organization. This means analyzing (a) local, tacit
knowledge and its transfer ability; (b) articulation

First, we identify names and routes as the essential
concepts of communication. Then, addresses are
introduced as an intermediate form that eases the
process of mapping between names and routes; an
original definition of an address is thus proposed.
Relations among names, addresses, and routes are
explained with the concept of mapping. On this basis, a
general model relating names, addresses, and routes is
built and then applied recursively throughout a layered
architecture, leading to a layered naming and
addressing model which may play the same role for
naming and addressing features that the OSI reference
model plays for the definition of services and
protocols. Finally, the model is particularized to a
typical network architecture. The model may also be
applied to non-OSI layered systems; naming, addressing,
and routing issues in any network architecture could be
a particular instance of this layered model.",

component, and a frequent activity of users of
information systems is to present it with queries.
These queries reflect the presuppositions of their

based on erroneous presuppositions often result in null
answers. These fake nulls are misleading, since they do
not point out the user's erroneous presuppositions (and
can even be interpreted as their affirmation). This
article describes the SEAVE mechanism for extracting
presuppositions from queries and verifying their
correctness. The verification is done against three
repositories of information: the actual data, their
integrity constraints, and their completeness
assertions. Consequently, queries that reflect
erroneous presuppositions are answered with informative
messages instead of null answers, and user-system
communication is thus improved (an aspect that is
particularly important in systems that often are
accessed by naive users). First, the principles of
SEAVE are described abstractly. Then, specific
algorithms for implementing it with relational
databases are presented, including a new method for
sorting knowledge and an efficient algorithm for

fashion, it is apparent that some understanding of the
office is necessary. Most descriptive studies of the
office have placed great emphasis on manifest office
actions, suggesting that offices are the embodiment of
these actions. The meanings of these actions or tasks,
however, have been given scant attention. There exist a
number of office activity or task taxonomies, but they
do little more than provide a simple and limited
structure through which to conceive of an office. From
a social-analytic perspective this appears to be overly
simplistic and misses the richness of social action in
an office. Focusing on the overt and manifest aspects
of the office may very well lead to its
misrepresentation. This paper takes a critical look at
the way offices are conceived in the office automation
literature and suggests alternatives that may provide a
better understanding of the real functions of an
office.",

application developers a database subsystem with a
Smalltalk-like object model instead of one of the more
traditional record-oriented models (e. g., relational,
hierarchical). This object model allows applications to
manage information (e. g., documents, pictures, sound)
not easily handled by more traditional database
systems. The design presented in this paper succeeds at
meeting many of the goals for a seamless integration of
GemStone with Smalltalk, especially if an application
can live with the default behavior of proxies. For
those designers not content with the efficiency of the
resulting application, this design provides a
reasonable factoring to allow incremental tuning by
creation of custom deputies. The deputy model allows
easy experimentation of alternative cache management
strategies. The authors suspect that once the major
classes supplied with GemStone have pretuned Smalltalk
deputies, this custom tuning process should not be a
difficult chore.",

message templates is surprisingly helpful in designing
a variety of computer-based communication and

provide automatic aids for (1) composing messages to be
sent, (2) selecting, sorting, and prioritizing messages
that are received, (3) responding automatically to some
messages, and (4) suggesting likely responses to other
messages. The use of these capabilities is illustrated
in a range of applications including electronic mail,
computer conferencing, calendar management, and task
tracking. The applications show how ideas from
artificial intelligence (such as inheritance and
production rules) and ideas from user interface design
(such as interactive graphical editors) can be combined
in novel ways for dealing with semistructural messages.
The final part of the paper discusses how communities
can evolve a useful set of message type definitions.",

access method for text and specifically for messages in
the office environment. Messages are stored
sequentially in the message file, whereas their
hash-coded abstractions (signatures) are stored
sequentially in the signature file. To answer a query,
the signature file is examined first, and many
nonqualifying messages are immediately rejected. In
this paper we examine the problem of designing
signature extraction methods and studying their
performance. We describe two old methods, generalize
another one, and propose a new method and its
variation. We provide exact and approximate formulas
for the dependency between the false drop probability
and the signature size for all the methods, and we show
that the proposed method (VBC) achieves approximately
ten times smaller false drop probability than the old
methods, whereas it is well suited for collections of
documents with variable document sizes.",

assumptions. We find that the model, though somewhat
restrictive, is not unreasonable. However, we find that
the time-saving-times-salary calculation, per se, is
implicitly based on a very particular assumption about
how saved time will be used. This assumption has
neither a behavioral nor normative basis, and we
conclude that the TSTS calculation is not meaningful in
most cases. An alternate approach, the hedonic wage
model, is proposed. This model overcomes most of the
deficiencies of the TSTS approach, although it has
somewhat greater data requirements and computational
complexity. A case study illustrating the use of the
hedonic wage model is presented.",

implementing this retrieval process is to rank
documents in order of their probability of relevance.
In this paper techniques are described for implementing
probabilistic ranking strategies with sequential and
bit-sliced signature files and the limitations of these
implementations with regard to their effectiveness are
pointed out. A detail comparison is made between
signature based ranking techniques and ranking using
term-based document representatives and inverted files.
The comparison shows that term-based representations
are at least competitive (in terms of efficiency) with

kinds of information in a form that can be processed
intelligently by both people and their computers. By
collecting these objects in customizable folders, users
can create their own displays which summarize selected
information from the objects in table or tree formats.
Finally, by creating semiautonomous agents, users can
specify rules for automatically processing this
information in different ways at different times. The
combination of these primitives provides a single
consistent interface that integrates facilities for
object-oriented databases, hypertext, electronic
messaging, and rule-based intelligent agents. To
illustrate the power of this combined approach, we
describe several simple examples of applications (such
as task tracking, intelligent message routing, and

that use of computer support for cooperative work

abstract = "This paper describes a series of interviews that
examine the ways that professional office workers use
electronic mail to manage their daily work. The purpose
is to generate hypotheses for future research. A number
of implications for the design of flexible mail systems
are discussed. Two principal claims are made. First,
the use of electronic mail is strikingly diverse,
although not infinitely so. Individuals vary both in
objective measure of mail use and in preferred
strategies for managing work electronically. Feelings
of control are similarly diverse. This diversity
implies that one's own experiences with electronic mail
are unlikely to provide sufficient understanding of
other's uses of mail. The second claim is that
electronic mail is more than just a communication
system. Users archive messages for subject retrieval,
prioritize messages to sequence work activities, and
delegate tasks via mail. A taxonomy of work management
is proposed in which mail is used for information
management, time management, and task management
activities.",

faced with the problem of conveying the document's
meaning to future readers through a shared computer
environment. Two tools implemented in the NoteCards
hypertext environment, guided tours and tabletops,
allow authors to employ annotation, graphic layout, and
ordered presentation when communicating to readers.
This paper describes these tools and gives examples of
their use. Issues of remote pointing arising from an
application in legal argumentation are discussed as
well as early work on the use of these tools to support
sharing of hypertext strategies among NoteCards
users.",
