چکیده
Ahlberg and Shneiderman's Starfield displays have been shown to provide fast and convenient access to large collections of data. However, the standard design requires a large, high-resolution, colour screen. This paper presents the results of a short project investigating this visual information seeking technique on a monochrome palmtop.

متن کاملTowards a model for an Internet content pre-caching agent for small computing devices
In the near future Internet access will be commonly available in two forms to most palmtops: wide bandwidth of a low-cost land-based connection while docked, and limited capacity expensive wireless connections while mobile. The coming 3G networks will help the bandwidth but the disparity of connection cost and bandwidth between docked and undocked devices will continue. This paper proposes a mo...
متن کاملUsing Palmtop Computers to Retrieve Clinical Information
We have developed a system for retrieving, storing and accessing clinical data using palmtop computers at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center (CPMC). This system involves an HTML-based information caching application to allow hospital physicians convenient, remote access to clinical information during times when use of existing workstations is difficult. By using HTML as the method of data cod...
