Research Interests

I am interested in documents and text, and all forms of managing them by computer means -- markup languages, hypertext, formatting, visualization, information retrieval. Current interests include collaboration with electronic writers in the creation of systems for New Media writing. I have also been exploring collaboration, light constraints, and change management in Wikis, in collaboration with Fabio Vitali's group at the University of Bologna.
