Abstract: Numerous methods to evaluate user interfaces have been investigated. These methods vary greatly in the attention paid to the users' tasks. Some methods require detailed task descriptions while others are task-independent. Unfortunately, collecting detailed task information can be difficult. On the other hand, task-independent methods cannot evaluate a design for the tasks users actually perform. The goal of this research is to develop a metric, which incorporates simple task descriptions, that... (Update)

.... possibility, not yet possible in our system, is suggested by research in automated evaluation of the visual layout of interfaces [14, 16]. In this case, layout evaluation would not be based on absolute metrics, but rather on relative comparisons for consistency. Our...
