Abstract

One key goal of personal information management is to let users search all of their information assets easily. As knowledge workspaces evolve, a need to provide ubiquitous search services that allow the user to search anything, from anywhere, at any time becomes increasingly important. A key feature of the smart workspace is the ability to support this access to personal content. Here, several current systems that provide some of these capabilities are examined, and implications for future information access systems are derived.
