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.

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.

User Computer Interface Issues in Nuclear Process Control: Research and Applications

Proceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting, 1986
The use of computer systems are becoming increasingly prominent as process control and information management tools in nuclear facilities. Eventually, it is believed that almost all plant processes will be controlled and monitored via some type of computer interface. The human factors data base of design guidelines, criteria and methods for evaluating

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

Assessment of Major Changes in User Computer Interfaces in 1990 to 2000

Proceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting, 1986
A study was performed at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory to identify, categorize, and assess future, major changes in reactor control rooms. A panel of control room experts, working through a modified Delphi conference, identified 184 specific concepts for change in control rooms within the next decade.

Human Factors Guidelines and Methodology in the Design of a User Computer Interface: A Case Study

Proceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting, 1986
In this case study, human factors personnel were requested to participate in a project team of programmers and operations specialists to design a cathode ray tube (CRT) display system for a complex process control application. This presentation describes the process and benefits obtained by incorporating human factors guidelines and methods in system ...

AN APPROACH TOWARDS A TRULY HIGH-LEVEL AND INTEGRATED USER-COMPUTER INTERFACE

1987
A further raising of the conceptual and linguistic level of the user-computer interface is suggested. This allows, to a high degree, the incorporation of the user's technical terminologies. The necessity of both consistent modes of working and of ready-to-use environments for the user's various tasks yields and demands an architectural model of the ...

The use of Multi-Level Adaptable user Interfaces in Improving User-Computer Interaction

1985
Users of interactive computer systems will typically display a wide range of computing experience, a fact which is rarely taken into account when user interfaces are constructed. The difficulties encountered by users using a rigid user interface are highlighted, and the role of adaptable user interfaces in the process of improving user-computer ...

Models and Tools for the Designers of User-Computer Interfaces

1988
The user-computer interface is often the major impediment to successful use of interactive computer graphics systems. Design of the interface is often thought of as art rather than science, and suffers from lack of formalisms, models, tools, and methodical design approaches.

Knowledge-Based User-Computer Interface Design, Prototyping and Evaluation - the Design Pro Advisory System

1998
Abstract : This report details the development of the DesignPro interactive computer-based advisory system for user-computer interface (UCI) design, prototyping and evaluation. DesignPro permits designers of user computer interfaces to represent requirements, to build prototypes, and to evaluate their impact -- all via a "workbench" of user accessible ...
