....overlay which occludes underlying material. Lack of visual semantic relations between windows in the pile, and the fact that windows the user needs to access may be obscured by others, reportedly lead to poor user performance compared with configurations which preserve the visibility of every item [16]. Another approach based on juxtaposition is adopted in Contact (Maltez, Bennett and Cova 1997) a prototype interactive documentary, which more resembles factual television (Fig. 1) The user may advance or step back in separate narratives by interacting at any time; ancillary information is ....

....away implementation details, which makes the program code more understandable. Scanlan [1] found that structured flowcharts had an advantage over pseudo code in algorithm comprehension even in simple cases. Graphics as windows is an integral part of the modern desktop making it user friendlier [2]. Yet, in the world of computing visual programming is often attacked by skeptical critics inclined to dismiss the idea completely. Usability of visual languages is addressed by empirical studies, which attempt to evaluate and compare them to textual languages in terms of effectiveness and ....

....important for general interactive applications, such as those of Section 6. Several tiled window managers have used empty space representations to allocate space when non overlapping windows are created, moved, or resized. Many tiled window managers are restricted to hierarchical layouts (e.g. [15, 8]) in which windows (i.e. full space rectangles) are allocated in a strict hierarchy by recursively partitioning the workspace horizontally or vertically at each subdivision. Thus, no full space or empty space rectangle can straddle partitions. Although it is straightforward to query the ....

.... People often engage in a number of tasks and need to switch between them frequently and quickly [1, 9] In the desktop metaphor, switching between tasks can involve dozens of operations (iconifying, opening, moving and resizing windows) Users often need to see multiple documents simultaneously [10]. Again, this can take many steps (opening windows, moving and resizing them, and scrolling) The desktop metaphor has inadequate support for task switching, leading to wasted effort and frustration on the part of the user [4, 9, 10, 16, 17] In the Task Gallery, switching between tasks and ....

In the Task Gallery, switching between tasks and viewing multiple windows simultaneously are simple actions. In addition, the Task Gallery provides a strong spatial framework for encoding location information and front to back relationships, thereby engaging the user s spatial memory to help ....

In addition PARENT provides tools for the manipulation of files. As for the case of elastic windows [4], PARENT supports drag drop actions for moving a file. Double clicking on a file will open it using the corresponding software in the Microsoft Windows environment. PARENT and Microsoft Windows Explorer are tightly coupled because a double click on a window title bar in PARENT launches Explorer ....

....not really natural for 3D. Given the fact that 3D graphics libraries are available on most programming platforms, new GUIs can and must be developed that provide a better fit to interaction within 3D scenes. Several researchers have been working in this direction. One example is Kandogan et al. [Kando97], who study and create a complete multi window operations with depth. They do not focus on 3D scenes. Effective schemes, which exploit new techniques and concepts, have been proposed by other researchers. Harrison [Harri96] introduces the concept of transparent menus, reflecting the increasing ....

....that most users have between a half dozen and a dozen applications executing at any given time, with those applications not currently of interest either covered or minimized in their environment this is, of course, the entire purpose of a windowing environment. Other studies and evaluations [2, 13, 20] echo these results, showing that users rarely complete any lengthy task before beginning another, resulting in multiple applications occupying the user s environment at once and a considerable amount of work switching the active window set (63 of all the operations in an independent windowing ....

....Lisp does not even support the lexical closures that Scheme provides SCWM. Neither GWM nor Sawmill has any constraint capabilities, though the hooks they provide can permit procedural implementations to approximate some of the simpler constraint based behaviours that SCWM affords. Elastic Windows (Kandogan Shneiderman 1996; 1997) is an interesting recent windowing system that uses spacefilling tiled layout. The Elastic Windows system does not provide general constraint capabilities, but instead does its layout by the implicit automatically maintained tiling and a dynamically alterable hierarchy of windows. Numerous other ....

Some studies focused on the model for window management and layout in desktop interfaces. Elastic windows [5] presents a browsing interface with hierarchical window organization and multiple window operations that allows users to organize web pages and restructure the information on the screen. Bell B. et al 3] presents a general approach to the dynamic representation of 2D space that is well suited ....

The CUBRICON Intelligent Window Manager used a computer algorithm weighing factors to determine a window s importance and automatically change the screen layout (Funke et al. 1993) Kandogan and Shneiderman (1997) developed a tiled strategy which allowed the user to directly and incrementally reshape a target window while the computer would compensate resizing the remaining windows For complex tasks such as controlling a telerobot or nuclear reactor, it is important to determine which window management ....

Hierarchical organization of pages allows the user to see the context, while exploring further details lower in the hierarchy. Although syntactic information structure on the WWW is an arbitrary graph, presenting the information in a hierarchy can help users in their information seeking ....

....evaluated by user experiments [3] We have conducted a user study comparing the Elastic Windows approach to the independent overlapping windows approach. Results indicated faster user performance for the Elastic Windows interface among expert users in the context of personal role management tasks [15]. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK We presented a hierarchical multi window WWW browser, which we believe supports users in their navigation strategies. Hierarchical window organization and multiple window operations allow users to organize web pages, and efficiently restructure the information on the ....

....selection interface, would obviate the need for Access in common cases. Window management is also a serious problem. Subjects spent considerable amounts of time rearranging visualization windows on the screen into nicely tiled layouts. Others have proposed solutions to this general problem (see [KS97] for a review) Combined Analysis In conjunction with results from the first study, this data may indicate the breakpoint at which time savings during browsing surpass coordination construction time. In exercise 1, subjects constructed the same user interface as was used in the first study for ....

....tools, may be able to support such expressions. This could also be useful for visualizations that do aggregation (e.g. histograms) In terms of the user interface, three major improvements are needed. First, better window management is needed for tiling, docking, or grouping windows together [KS97]. For example, a Case Viewer might be grouped as one window composed of three sub frames. Second, a visual coordination editor tool might combine the querying and coordinating steps into a more task oriented process. Given one view, what else can I explore from here Third, a visual map is needed ....
