Rememberer: A tool for capturing museum visits

Abstract We report on our experiences implementing and testing Rememberer, a tool for recording visits to museums. We describe field trials at the Exploratorium, an interactive science museum in San Francisco. This challenging environment enabled us to verify that Rememberer interferes little with the social, hands-on nature of Exploratorium visits and has promise as a vehicle for post-visit reflection and communication.

A Usage Profile and Evaluation of a Wide-Area Distributed File System

The evolution of the Andrew File System (AFS) into a wide-area distributed file system has encouraged collaboration and information dissemination on a much broader scale than ever before. In this paper, we examine AFS as a provider of wide-area file services to over 80 organizations around the world. We discuss usage characteristics of AFS derived from empirical measurements of the system, and from user responses to a questionnaire. Our observations indicate that AFS provides robust and efficient data access in its current configuration, thus confirming its viability as a design point for wide-area distributed file systems. 1. Introduction Over the last decade, distributed file systems such as AFS and NFS in the Unix world, and Netware and LanManager in the MS-DOS world have risen to prominence. Today, virtually every organization with a large collection of personal machines uses such a system. The stunning success of the distributed file system paradigm is attributable to three facto..
