GUIDES

Proceedings of the 1985 ACM thirteenth annual conference on Computer Science - CSC '85, 1985
A major challenge for software engineers in the coming years is to develop systems which users can learn quickly and operate effectively. The user-computer interface is a major factor in determining whether a software system can be readily mastered by the general user population.

Methods for Improving the User-Computer Interface

1983
Abstract : Numerous examples have been cited of deficiencies in the user- computer interface on Navy computers, both ashore and aboard ship. The computer system designer often overlooks the user's perspective in his desire to provide the user with a system that is a faster and more powerful tool.

Transaction language characteristics and user/computer interfaces in manufacturing systems

Microprocessors and Microsystems, 1983
Abstract A problem-oriented language for manufacturing control and operator guidance within production systems is described. In-process control and the human/computer communication is combined and based on transactions. These are preplanned instruction sequences for a machine and an operator which are constructed logically.

Goodness-of-Fit in the User-Computer Interface: A Hierarchical Control Framework Related to "Friendliness"

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 1986
A hierarchical model is used as a vehicle to integrate concepts related to user-system interfaces from a variety of different disciplines. The model is based on the notion that the user and the system constitute two independent control systems and that proper intersystem communication can take place only when each operates with appropriate expectations

Operator Aids and Expert Systems in User Computer Interfaces

Proceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting, 1986
Recent events have demonstrated the potential for catastrophic accidents at process control facilities, resulting in severe economic damages or loss of human life. Human operators play a central role in the outcome of accidents in process control plants, because of their responsibility to make decisions regarding the appropriate corrective actions ...

Formal development of hybrid user-computer interfaces with advanced forms of user assistance

Journal of Systems and Software, 1991
Abstract This article presents a software engineering approach to developing a hybrid interface consisting of both command language and direct manipulation. This approach supports development of reusable and maintainable interface software. In addition, it includes provisions for satisfying human factors.

ALGORITHMS TO TRANSFORM THE FORMAL SPECIFICATION OF A USER-COMPUTER INTERFACE

1987
Publisher Summary This chapter describes a system that allows a user interface designer to formally specify key elements of the conceptual and semantic designs of a user-computer interface. The specification uses the Interface Definition Language (IDL) to describe the interface in terms of types of objects, properties of objects, class relationships ...

Information systems teaching: a debate on the user‐system interface in end‐user computing

Information Systems Journal, 1992
Abstract. Advances in educational technology have had little impact on the lecturing process, a process on which university‐level information systems education depends. This paper argues for the use of ‘playlets’, in the form of scripted dialogues that present the material in a more interesting and easily interpreted fashion.
