[IAEP] Academic papers about Sugar (UI)

[Christoph Derndorfer]

Hi Sascha,

the best work in this context that I've seen so far is Sven Bergman's 
master thesis: "Sugar - Not necessarily unhealthy": 
http://dimeb.informatik.uni-bremen.de/documents/Sugar-Not_necessarily_unhealthy.pdf

By the way, what is the focus of your thesis? I've recently restarted a 
dormant thesis project myself and would of course love to avoid too 
much overlap (esp. since Sven's thesis is basically *exactly* what I 
had planned to do;-).

Cheers,
Christoph
