....of this design decision requires more than the application of the Smith and Mosier guidelines, and is considered further in subsection 3.2. As might be expected with such a large set of guidelines, there were some conflicts between seemingly applicable guidelines, a problem also noted in [14]) For example, the guidelines offered conflicting requirements about the need to maintain input device consistency. Conflicting advice was also given on a very basic design decision dealing with the correspondence between user requirements and the design of data entry. For language based editors ....

....OPEN LOOK. These style guides provide some high level design principles but are mainly intended to enhance consistency of interface presentation across different applications. Moreover, they are difficult to interpret and apply, with their coverage of user interface design concepts being small [Mye94] The Smith and Mosier guidelines were compiled using material that the authors CHAPTER 5. GUIDELINES AND A LANGUAGE BASED EDITOR 39 had previously published (including research on the use of guidelines by designers) and the published material of many others. The aim of these guidelines is to ....

As expected with such a large set of guidelines, there were some conflicts (also noted as a problem in [Mye94] 5.7 Summary In this chapter we have demonstrated the use of guidelines as an evaluation tool for the design of a user interface of a software development tool. Clearly, if such CHAPTER 5. GUIDELINES AND A LANGUAGE BASED EDITOR 62 a set of guidelines had been readily available in their ....

INTRODUCTION C est dsormais un lieu commun de dire que les interfaces sont tout la fois essentielles mais difficiles concevoir et implmenter [1,2]. Outre la difficult de prise en compte des aspects humains, cette complexit tient aussi en partie la conception des outils actuellement disponibles.

Introduction Developing effective, useful and usable interfaces is increasingly becoming a primary issue for assessing the quality of software applications [Myers 94] To many developers, the answer lies simply in presenting the user with a Graphical User Interface (GUI, or gooey in developer vernacular) GUI and application builders have proliferated, further deepening the misconception that user interface issues are restricted to widget layout and lookand ....

INTRODUCTION It is a well known fact that user interfaces constitute an essential part of software applications but still remain difficult to conceive and to implement [4,5]. Besides the difficulties inherent to the task of designing human computer interfaces, we still believe that a non negligible part of this complexity also results from the design of available UI software tools and that there is still room for improvement in this field. So, we propose a new system ....

....no golden rules to assure the desired quality. It determines how an interface should look like and how it should behave. Consecutive software design of the desired interface and its implementation is also known to be a non trivial task. Despite of steady progresses, many challenges still remain [8]. This work proposes a visual language called Xchart and a corresponding environment for the development of the control components of an interface. Xchart is well suited to describe complex multi thread dialogues, ie simultaneously active dialogues which allow the final user to carry out several ....

Just as a curiosity: the 22 nd letter of the greek alphabet (X e ) is identified in English by the name CHI which represents the acronym of Computer Human Interface. 2 F abio Lucena Hans Liesenberg represent one of the obstacles to interface development [6, 8]. The Xchart language represents a proposal for the specifications fo the complex dialogue and the Xchart environment supports the generation and execution of software which implements those dialogues. The design of the Xchart language is an outcome of earlier experiments with statecharts [2] used ....

....as the synergistic use of speech and gesture. The power and versatility of multimodal interfaces result in an increased complexity that current design methods and tools do not address appropriately. As observed by B. Myers, user interface design and implementation are inherently difficult tasks [11]. Myers s assertion is even more relevant when considering the constraints imposed by the recent technological push. In particular, multimodal interaction requires [3] the fusion of different types of data originating from distinct interaction techniques as exemplified by the put that there ....
