Henderson, D.A., Jr., Card, S.K., "Rooms: The use of multiple virtual workspaces to reduce space contention in a window-based graphical user interface ", ACM Transactions on Graphics, 5, 3, July 1986, pp. 211-243. Google

Quotations
212 ;;Quote: computer displays are very much smaller than desks or tables
213 ;;Quote: gain screen space by distorting objects, e.g., icons and windows
213 ;;Quote: overlapping windows in a restricted space creates an 'electronic messy desk'
216 ;;Quote: with multiple, virtual workspaces have problem of simultaneous access to separated information
216+ ;;Quote: with multiple, virtual workspaces have problem of navigation to find objects since most objects are invisible
217 ;;Quote: reduce contention for screen-space by designing a virtual workspace manager that uses statistics of window reference
217+ ;;Quote: overhead of managing overlapped windows due to severe resource contention
220 ;;Quote: bounded locality interval: top elements of LRU with at least one additional reference; corresponds to phase
221 ;;Quote: rooms are screen-sized workspaces containing windows, doors to related rooms, door to previous room, and shared rooms
236 ;;Quote: UserInterface rooms include user modifiable descriptions used to preload files etc.
238 ;;Quote: with a big screen, windows clustered by task; users switch from task to task
241 ;;Quote: rooms reduce contention for screen space; allows extra browsers and tuned layouts
241 ;;Quote: buttons defined by users as macrooperators can boost user efficiency substantially
