This article is from allegra!indra!reggie and was received on Mon Oct 20 21:14:34 1986 As far as EIES-2 goes, I have not seen any published material on it thus far. However, Dr. Turoff has published some papers in the past year. I'll present a bibliography of some EIES and Computer Conferencing papers authored by Dr. Turoff and his colleagues at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. There are many more, but these are some of the more recent ones and some of the major works as well: 1. IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication March 1986 Volume PC-29 Number 1 Special Issue on Computer Conferencing The following papers are from the NJIT community: Levinson, Paul, "Teleconnections", pp 8 "Marshall McLuhan and Computer Conferencing", pp 9-11. Kerr, Elaine B. "Electronic Leadership: A Guide to Moderating Online Conferences" pp 12-18. 2. Meeks, Brock N. "An Overview of Conferencing Systems" BYTE December 1985 Vol. 10 No.13 pp 169-184. (Mr. Meeks is an author and frequent EIES user) 3. Turoff, Murray "Information, Value, and the Internal Marketplace" Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 27 (1985) pp 357-373. 4. Turoff, Murray, and Chinai, Sanjit "An Electronic Information Marketplace" Computer Networks and ISDN Systems, 9 (1985), pp 79-90. 5. Hiltz, Starr Roxanne, and Turoff, Murray, "Structuring Computer-Mediated Communication Systems to Avoid Information Overload", Communications of the ACM, July 1985, Volume 28 Number 7, p 680-689. 6. Mills, Miriam K. "Teleconferencing - Managing the 'Invisible Worker'" Sloan Management Review, Summer 1984, pp 63-67. (Dr. Mills was with the Dept of Organizational and Social Sciences at NJIT) 7. Hiltz, Starr Roxanne, and Turoff, Murray, "The Evolution of User Behavior in a Computerized Conferencing System", Communications of the ACM November 1981 Volume 24 Number 11, pp 739-751. 8. Hiltz, Starr Roxanne, "The Human Elements in Computerized Conferencing Systems" Computer Networks, 2 (1978) pp 421-428. 9. Hiltz, Starr Roxanne, "Impact of a Computerized Conferencing System Upon Scientific Research Specialties", Journal of Research Communication Studies, 1 (1978), pp 111-124. 10. Hiltz, Starr Roxanne, "Computer Conferencing: Assessing the Social Impact of a New Communications Medium", Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 10 (1977), pp 225-238. 11. Turoff, Murray "An On-Line Intellectual Community or "MEMEX" Revisited" Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 10 (1977), pp 401-412. 12. Turoff, Murray, and Hiltz, Starr Roxanne "Meeting Through Your Computer" IEEE Spectrum, May 1977, pp 58-64. 13. Turoff, Murray, Whitescarver, James, and Hiltz, Starr Roxanne "The Human Machine Interface in a Computerized Conferencing Environment", IEEE Proceedings on Systems, Man and Cybernetics Annual Conference, September 1977, pp 145-157. In addition, there are two other books which Dr Turoff and other colleagues at NJIT have been involved with: "The Delphi Method, Techniques and Applications" Edited by Harold A. Linstone and Murray Turoff Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, 1975 "Computer-Mediated Communications Systems, Status and Evaluation" Elaine B. Kerr and Starr Roxanne Hiltz Academic Press, 1982 Also both Dr. Turoff and Dr. Hiltz wrote articles in the following book: "Emerging Office Systems" based on Proceedings of the Stanford University International Symposium on Office Automation Edited by Robert M. Landau, James H. Bair and Jean H. Siegman Ablex Publishing Corporation, Norwood NJ And finally, the EIES-2 development staff utilizes among a variety of hardware a 3b5 running System V UNIX called argus. This machine is connected to the net via a feed from the bellcore machine (I think). Anyway if you are interested in contacting some of the people there, you can send mail to some of the following individuals: Kenneth Ng ..!bellcore!argus!ken Marty Lyons ..!bellcore!argus!marty Kevin Walsh ..!bellcore!argus!kevin Ron DeBlock ..!bellcore!argus!ron Bob Michie ..!bellcore!argus!bob If you are interested in contacting Dr. Turoff directly, you can send him mail at the following address: ..!bellcore!murray%njit-eies.MAILNET@MIT-MULTICS.ARPA George W.
