In order to achieve user acceptance the design
of highly
interactive user interfaces is
not possible without
involvement of the end user in the complete design process. To
evaluate design decisions by end users it is necessary to make
intermediate results observable by users already during design
by semantically rich prototypes. It is a prerequisite
that
models the design is based upon (task model, dialogue model,
object model, to mention some) are well
defined and are
specified formally or at
least semiformally. With
corresponding tools available, it is possible to
construct
prototypes without much additional effort compared
to the
actual specification activity and without need
of partial
implementations. It is the intention of
the workshop to
heavily engage in these specific problems; the goal
is an
intensive exchange of experience and
information between
experts in user interface design.
User interfaces link humans, with all their faults and skills,
to computers with neither faults nor skills. It is
we, the
interface developers with our own faults and skills, that have
to connect them up. It is a recipe full of
potential for
difficulty. I will first discuss some limitations within which
we must live and suggest a level of abstraction appropriate
for dealing with the limitations. The principal point will be
to deal in units of sophisticated learned behaviors
rather
than with the primary senses. I will then tell a story of
an
industrial effort to build the right interface to the users of
a programming environment. The process
included customer
interviews, a sophisticated analysis method applied
to the
gathered data, and then an almost successful
development
effort. The GUI turned out to be the least of our problems. I
will finish with some speculations
on how Java might
contribute to the production of efficient implementation
of
user interfaces.
