Danyel Aharon Fisher shares his dissertation draft at
Social and Temporal Structures in Everyday Collaboration

Dissertation draft in one 214-page file, and four happy megabytes of PDF.

From his intro:

"This dissertation shows that social networks and temporality can be used to provide meaningful, useful descriptions of the interconnections within groups of people. These descriptions allow the development of software that support the collaborative aspects of apparently individual work, by placing the single-user experience more explicitly in the wider social frame within which works takes place."

The details: Social and Temporal Structures in Everyday Collaboration, by Danyel Aharon Fisher, Doctor of Philosophy in Information and Computer Science, University of California, Irvine, 2004.

Congratulations, Danyel. I'd love to play around with the software you developed!
