Heuristic Evaluation of User Interfaces

by Jukob Nielsen, Rolf Molich - IN: PROCEEDINGS OF THE CHI´90 CONFERENCE, SEATTLE , 1990
"... Heuristic evaluation is an informal method of usability analysis where a number of evaluators are presented with an interface design and asked to comment on it. Four ex-periments showed that individual evaluators were mostly quite bad at doing such heuristic evaluations and that they only found betw ..."

Bricks: Laying the foundations for graspable user interfaces

by George W. Fitzmaurice , 1995
"... We introduce the concept of Graspable User Interfaces which allow direct control of electronic or virtual objects through physical handles for control. These physical artifacts are essentially new input devices which can be tightly coupled or “attached ” to virtual objects for manipulation or for ex ..."

Vogels, U-Net: a user-level network interface for parallel and distributed computing, in:

by Anindya Basu , Vineet Buch , Werner Vogels , Thorsten Von Eicken - Proceedings of the 15th ACM Symposium on Operating System Principles, ACM, , 1995
"... Abstract The U-Net communication architecture provides processes with a virtual view of a network device to enable user-level access to high-speed communication devices. The architecture, implemented on standard workstations using off-the-shelf ATM communication hardware, removes the kernel from th ..."

Toolglass and magic lenses: The see-through interface

by Eric A. Bier, Maureen C. Stone, Ken Pier, William Buxton, Tony D. Derose , 1993
"... Toolglass ™ widgets are new user interface tools that can appear, as though on a transparent sheet of glass, between an application and a traditional cursor. They can be positioned with one hand while the other positions the cursor. The widgets provide a rich and concise vocabulary for operating on ..."

Tangible bits: towards seamless interfaces between people, bits and atoms

by Hiroshi Ishii, Brygg Ullmer - Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems, ACM Press: 234--241 , 1997
"... This paper presents our vision of Human Computer Interaction (HCI): "Tangible Bits. " Tangible Bits allows users to "grasp & manipulate " bits in the center of users’ attention by coupling the bits with everyday physical objects and architectural surfaces. Tangible Bits also ..."

Teddy: A sketching interface for 3d freeform design

by Takeo Igarashi, Satoshi Matsuoka, Hidehiko Tanaka , 1999
"... We present a sketching interface for quickly and easily designing freeform models such as stuffed animals and other rotund objects. The user draws several 2D freeform strokes interactively on the screen and the system automatically constructs plausible 3D polygonal surfaces. Our system supports seve ..."

Self-Similarity in World Wide Web Traffic: Evidence and Possible Causes

by Mark E. Crovella, Azer Bestavros , 1996
"... Recently the notion of self-similarity has been shown to apply to wide-area and local-area network traffic. In this paper we examine the mechanisms that give rise to the self-similarity of network traffic. We present a hypothesized explanation for the possible self-similarity of traffic by using a p ..."

, we show evidence that WWW traffic exhibits behavior that is consistent with self-similar traffic models. Then we show that the self-similarity insuch traffic can be explained based on the underlying distributions of WWW document sizes, the effects of caching and user preference in le transfer

Principles of Mixed-Initiative User Interfaces

by Eric Horvitz , 1999
"... Recent debate has centered on the relative promise of focusing user-interface research on developing new metaphors and tools that enhance users' abilities to directly manipulate objects versus directing effort toward developing interface agents that provide automation. In this paper, we review ..."

The Unix Time-Sharing System

by D. M. Ritchie, K. Thompson - Communications of the ACM , 1974
"... Unix is a general-purpose, multi-user, interactive operating system for the larger Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-11 and the Interdata 8/32 computers. It offers a number of features seldom found even in larger operating systems, including i A hierarchical file system incorporating demountable vol ..."
