Multisentential Text using Communicative Acts" at Cambridge University. He was
awarded an MBA from RPI in 1989. Mark has organised multiple international symposia, given
tutorials, and published over fifty technical and tutorial articles in the area of
language generation, multimedia presentation, text summarization, and intelligent
multimedia information retrieval. Mark is editor of Intelligent Multimedia Interfaces
(AAAI/MIT Press, 1993), Intelligent Multimedia Information Retrieval (AAAI/MIT Press,
1997) and co-editor of Readings on Intelligent User Interfaces (Morgan Kaufmann Press,

Kristina Höök, SICS, Swedish Institute of Computer Science
Tutorial II
Instructor Kristina Höök is a researcher at SICS, the Swed-ish Institute of Computer
Science. She holds a Ph.D. in Computer and Systems Sciences. The thesis topic was the
design, implementation and evaluation of an adaptive hy-permedia system to be used in an
industrial setting at Er-icsson AB. Kristina also gives a course on Intelligent User
Interfaces at the Royal Institute of Technology and Stock-holm University in Stockholm.
Henry Lieberman, MIT Media Lab
Tutorial III
Henry Lieberman has been a Research Scientist at the MIT Media Laboratory since 1987.
He is a member of the Software Agents group, which is concerned with making intelligent
software that assists users in interactive interfaces. His current projects involve
intelligent agents for the Web that learn by "watching what you do." Other
projects include an interactive graphic editor that learns from examples, and from
annotation on images and video; debugging and visualization for programming environments,
and new graphic metaphors for information visualization and navigation. From 1972-87, he
was a researcher at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, where he worked in the
group that originally developed Logo, and with Carl Hewitt on Actors. He introduced the
notion of prototypes in object-oriented systems. He holds a doctoral-equivalent degree
from the University of Paris VI and was a Visiting Professor there in 1989-90.
