Abstract

VisStream has two major functions: conversation capture, and conversation visualization. For conversation capture, we instrumented the Notification Collage so we could monitor all activities and conversations contained within its multimedia elements. These elements are then recorded as a temporal stream in a database.

For conversation visualization, VisStream presents the history as a graphical timeline. We chose this approach because the natural ordering of communication occurrences by time also preserves the conversation's context.
