Abstract
By observing the behavior of users, system developers can structure a computer conferencing system to take special advantage of the computer communication medium. Through the use of dynamic references, such a system can support uniquely efficient functions for data pruning, retrieval, dissemination, and management. The authors present the structure of such a conferencing application in the GRANDiose system. They then make some observations regarding future directions based upon their experience with the system.
