(Paper)
In this paper, we propose a Weblog system called ActionLog, which
can associate Weblog entries to real world contexts. The real world context
is not only useful for Weblog authors themselves, but also beneficial to
communication among people, because people with the same or a similar context
can easily find each other. ActionLog collects user actions from both
Web-based and other real-world systems. Weblog contents are generated
automatically from these user actions with related information. Users can
browse and edit these entries as their personal action records and in
addition can publish them for experience sharing. We built a practical system
as an ActionLog application for conference support. Its main objective is to
help people to learn about presentations and to effectively meet other people
in a limited amount of time and the least amount of user commitment. There
are three main features, i.e., integration of information in the real world
and the cyber world, personalization in both information capturing from users
and in information providing to users, and persistent assistance throughout
the conference.
