Roj's Publications

This page contains copies of all my research publications to date. My research is mainly focused on Computer Supported Co-operative Work, that means using Computer Mediated Communication to do Groupworking, with the group members at Geographically Distributed Locations.

All publications are in Postscript (*.ps) or Acrobat (*.pdf) format. You can either print Postscript files direct to a printer or view them with a Postscript viewer eg. ghostscript. Acrobat files can be viewed with Acrobat Reader, or in your web browser with an Acrobat plug-in. If you want any publications in a different format (eg. word) email me and tell me why and I may send it you.

Note: Postscript and Acrobat files cannot be altered, that is why they are the standard format for publications on the net. Also Postscript files are quite big (file sizes in brackets) as they contain all their printer formatting information. If you do not have a very good connection then I recommend the Acrobat files.
