The WebNet Project began as part of a grant to L3D from ARPA to explore the design of Useful and Usable (U&U) systems. You can read about the U&U grant.
The PI for the U&U grant is Gerhard Fischer. The current co-managers are Jonathan Ostwald and Gerry Stahl. The email repository is part of a doctoral dissertation by Stefanie Lindstaedt. The LAN Design Environment simulation was largely developed as part of a masters thesis by Jay Smith.
For more information on the U&U project, you can see:
* a list of other people involved in the U&U project.
* a brief statement of the theory behind the U&U project
* a list of some publications related to the U&U project
* quarterly and annual reports to ARPA on the U&U project
A Symposium on Computational Support for Continually Evolving Organizational Knowledge Bases was held by L3D on May 19 - 21, 1996. You can look at the Agenda, List of Participants, Collected Position Statements and Follow-up Discussion from this Symposium..
