....an interface has been created, either automatically or manually, these metrics could be used to provide feedback about user performance. It would also be interesting to explore the use of LA in other disciplines, such as, Facilities Layout [8] and applications which currently use Link Analysis [13]. Conclusions Interface designers monitor many aspects of an interface design as it is being created. LA can automatically monitor various measures, such as distance, reducing the demands on designers, allowing them to concentrate on other aspects of the design. The computation of LA takes ....
