Abstract

Information workers typically demand the aggregation of multiple information resources related to their activities such as documents, contacts, and emails. Current mechanisms for aggregation of resources lack enough flexibility to collect different kinds of information and offer no support to facilitate their prompt retrieval. This paper presents Sphere Juggler, a system that integrates seamlessly with the popular Microsoft Windows interface facilitating the grouping of information related with the current activities of people as well as a fast switching between them. The architecture of the system and its interface are described. A preliminary evaluation of the system indicates that people envisions important benefits by having the functionality offered by the system.
