Old papers

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

I’ve recently added a list of my research publications here. Almost all are on ebook design (a few are on ontologies/Semantic Web) and the most recent was written in 2005, but I wanted to keep a list somewhere.

If anyone’s actually interested in old papers on ebooks, three of the more readable ones are available online/downloadable:

With M. Landoni, Evaluating the Usability of Portable Electronic Books (PDF), Proceedings of the 2003 ACM Symposium on Applied Computing, Melbourne, Florida, USA. 2003. pp. 564-568

Displaying Digital Information on Paper-like Devices, JISC Technology and Standards Watch report, January 2003

Evolution of Portable Electronic Books, Ariadne, Issue 29, October 2001
