Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1997
When an opportunistic searcher encounters an over-de- or ‘‘evolving,’’ ‘‘contracting’’ and ‘‘expanding’’ — is termined information system, less than ideal search available, then searching is potentially richer because the strategies often ensue.

Work as an information environment

Organizational Behavior and Human Performance, 1978
Abstract For the purposes of confirming and extending previous research on the nature of sources of information in a work environment, 387 faculty members at a large midwestern university were surveyed. Five sources of information (the formal organization, supervisor, co-workers, the task itself, and personal thoughts and feelings) were rated as to ...

A prototype information environment

Proceedings of the Second Workshop on Workstation Operating Systems, 2003
An information environment wherein a wide variety of network data is modeled as a single logical information space is now possible via a workstation network. Its effective implementation has potentially significant implications for workstation operating systems. The author discusses information environments in general, user interaction with information

On the Age of Information in a CSMA Environment

IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, 2020
In this paper, we investigate a network where $N$ links contend for the channel using the well-known carrier sense multiple access scheme. By leveraging the notion of stochastic hybrid systems, we find: 1) a closed-form expression of the average age when links generate packets at will 2) an upperbound of the average age when packets arrive ...
