Consumers are increasingly using their smart phones to view web pages. However, there is no native operating system support for printing these web pages. We propose to overcome two barriers to printing from mobile devices - the inability to connect and transmit to a printer and the typically poor format of printed web pages. Our system includes a client component that causes the web browser to upload the page (as a URL reference for public pages or the DOM content for private pages) to a cloud service that extracts the content and formats it for printing. We transfer the print-ready content to the HP CloudPrint service and leverage its ability to locate printers and transmit print jobs. We have built a working system the uses iPhones and Windows Mobile devices clients, but the system can be extended to include other clients.

Print is undergoing a revolution as significant as the invention of the printing press. The emergence of ePaper is a major disruption for the printing industry;defining a new medium with the potential to redefine publishing in a way that is as different to today's web, as the web is to traditional print. In this new eBook ecosystem we don't just see users as consumers of eBooks, but as active prosumers able to collaboratively create, customize and publish their own eBooks. We describe a transclusive, collaborative publishing framework for the web.

Wikis have become a tool of choice for collaborative, informative communication. In contrast to the immense Wikipedia, that serves as a reference web site and typically covers only one topic per web page, enterprise wikis are often used as project management tools and contain several closely related pages authored by members of one project. In that scenario it is useful to print closely related content for review or teaching purposes. In this paper we propose a novel technique for rendering enterprise wiki content for printing called WikiPrints, that creates a linearized version of wiki content formatted as a mixture between web layout and conventional document layout suitable for printing. Compared to existing print options for wiki content, Wikiprints automatically selects content from different wiki pages given user preferences and usage scenarios. Meta data such as content authors or time of content editing are considered. A preview of the linearized content is shown to the user and an interface for making manual formatting changes provided.

Xerox Trails is a new digital publishing model developed at the Xerox Research Center, webster. The primary purpose of the technology is to allow web users and publishers to collect, organize and present information in the form of a useful annotated narrative (possibly non-sequential) with editorial content and metadata, that can be consumed both online and offline. The core concept is a trail: a digital object that improves online content production, consumption and navigation user experiences. When appropriate, trails can also be easily sequenced and transformed into printable documents, thereby bridging the gap between online and offline content experiences. The model is partly inspired by Vannevar Bush's influential idea of the "Memex" [1] which has inspired several generations of web technology [2]. Xerox Trails is a realization of selected elements from the idea of the Memex, along with several original design ideas. It is based on a primitive data construct, the trail. In Xerox Trails, the idea of a trail is used to support the architecture of a web2.0 product suite called Trailmeme, that includes a destination web site, plugins for major content management systems, and a browser toolbar.

We propose a method the for semi-automatic organization of photo albums. The method analyzes how different users organize their own pictures. The goal is to help the user in dividing his pictures into groups characterized by a similar semantic content. The method is semi-automatic: the user starts to assign labels to the pictures and unlabeled pictures are tagged with proposed labels. The user can accept the recommendation or made a correction. We use a suitable feature representation of the images to model the different classes that the users have collected. Then, we look for correspondences between the criteria used by the different users which are integrated using boosting. A quantitative evaluation of the proposed approach is obtained by simulating the amount of user interaction needed to annotate the albums of a set of members of the flickr (R) photo-sharing community.

Although many XML-based document formats are available for printing or publishing on the Internet, none of them is well designed to support both high quality printing and web publishing. To address this problem, we propose a novel XML-based document format for web publishing, called CEBX, in this paper. The proposed format is a fixed-layout document with printing quality, which has optimized document content organization, physical structure and protection scheme to support web publishing. There are four noteworthy features of CEBX documents: (1) CEBX provides original fixed layout by graphic units for high quality rendering. (2) The content in CEBX document can be reflowed to fit the display device basing on the content blocks and additional fluid information. (3) XML Document Archiving model (XDA), the packaging model used in CEBX, supports document linearization and incremental edit well. (4) By introducing a segment-based content protection scheme into CEBX, some part of a document can be previewed directly while the remaining part is protected effectively such that readers only need to purchase partial content of a book that they are interested in. This will be very helpful to document distribution and support flexible business models such as try-before-buy, on-demand reading, superdistribution, etc.

web searches for a specific topic can result in multiple document references for the topic, where information on the topic is redundantly presented across the document set. This can make it difficult for the user to locate a unique piece of information from the document set, or to comprehend the full scope of the information, without examining one document after another in the hope of discovering that new or interesting fact. Summarization techniques reduce the redundancy but often at the cost of information loss. Aggregation is difficult and may present information out of context. This paper presents a method for navigating the document set such that the facts or concepts and their redundant presentations are identified. The user can gain an overview of the concepts, and can locate where they are presented. The user can then view a desired concept as presented in the context of the document of choice. The approach also allows the user to move from concept to concept apart from the sequence of any one particular document. Navigation is accomplished via a graph structure in which redundant material is grouped into nodes. Sequential material unique to a document can also be clustered into a node for a more compact graph representation. Methods for identification of redundant content and for the construction of the navigation graph are discussed.

This paper addresses the problem of robust and automated synchronization of multiple audio and video signals. The input signals are from a set of independent multimedia recordings coming from several camcorders and microphones. While the camcorders are static, the microphones are mobile as they are attached to people. The motivation for synchronization of all signals is to support studies and understanding of human interaction in a decision support environment that have been limited so far due to the difficulties in automated processing of any observations during the decision making sessions. The application of our work is to environments supporting decisions. The data sets for this work have been acquired during training exercises of response teams, rescue workers, and fire fighters at multiple locations. The developed synchronization methodology for a set of independent multimedia recordings is based on introducing aural and visual landmarks with a bell and room light switches. Our approach to synchronization is based on detecting the landmarks in audio and video signals per camcorder and per microphone, and then fusing the results to increase robustness and accuracy of the synchronization. We report synchronization results that demonstrate accuracy of synchronization based on video and audio.
