Welcome!(RealAudio) You have reached
the site for Michael Spring, a faculty member in the Graduate Program in Information
Science and Technology at the University of Pittsburgh. Some may
have reached this site looking for materials I use in teaching. Those materials
are now located at my class site
www2.sis.pitt.edu/~mbsclass/.
These pages present information about teaching, research, publications,
as well as informations about my background and personal interests. (Here
are copies of the welcome message in WAV
and AIF format.)
My research projects have their own sites with a lot more data.
-
CASCADE
was a major project looking at collaborative authoring over wide area networks.
The project is now pretty much shut down although the software continues
to be used and is available for others to use. The project was funded by
the National Institute for Standards and Technology for four years.
-
ESPEAK
is an active project that is exploring the development of network based
services. It is funded by HP as a part of their E'Speak University initiative.

You should see one or more pictures of my office here. The picture(s) you
see are current -- i.e. taken at the time you accessed my page. A hint
or two. If the lights are off I'm gone. If the door is open I'm
in the building. If I'm
at my desk, you can update the images by pressing the button below.
If you wish, you can go to
Live Controlable Camera and login as user with the

With regrets, the veo camera only works
with IE. Please be courteous, I don't want to have to
kick you off.
