introduction: nowadays , use of library software is a basic need for libraries and information centers. user interface is a part of computerized systems which is interacting to the user and it is an important factor in information searching process. this study aimed to compare librarian's satisfaction rate from library software interface in isfahan libraries in 2010. methods: this was a descrip...

Screenshots, known for years as capturing Graphical User Interface by means of print screen button or capturing software, is not only beneficial for creating user guide or user manual document, but also for reverse engineering process. This paper presents a new way of capturing the data appear on a screen by creating the ontology of its interface. Data capturing based on the interaction style o...

This paper reports our recent development on a reconfigurable user interface. We created a system that consists of a dial type controller ‘Spinner’, and the GUI (Graphical User Interface) objects for the Max/MSP environment[1]. One physical controller corresponds to one GUI controller on a PC’s display device, and a user can freely change the connection on the fly (i.e. associate the physical c...

With the advent of touch screen phones, good UI design and simplified input methods for applications running on such devices are important factors that contribute to its popularity and success. The goal of this research is to evaluate different user interface designs and input methods for mobile phones with touch screen capability. In order to do this, two prototypes of a simple social networki...

In recent years, several model-driven proposals have defined user interface models that can represent both behavioural and aesthetic aspects. However, the software industry has ignored the majority of these proposals because the quality of the rich user interfaces generated out of these models is usually low and their code generators are not flexible, i.e., the UI templates cannot be customised...

This thesis presents a novel software system called Thekla that facilitates the integration of 2D and 3D user interfaces (UI) employed in interactive, multi-display/multi-user, distributed graphics applications. Combining heterogenous display and interaction devices refers to the idea of providing the most appropriate environment to accomplish diverse interaction tasks to users. Thekla acts as ...

While model based design of platform independent application logic has already shown significant success, the design of platform independent user interfaces still needs further investigation. Nowadays, user interface design is usually platform specific or based on C-level cross-platform libraries. In this paper, we propose a MDA like design approach for user interfaces based on the transformati...

To promote the Model-Based software engineering development of user interfaces, this paper proposes a model driven development approach of complex user interface. The approach captures the process data in user interfaces by using an Extended Object Model. User interfaces are directly, abstractly depicted as objects, components and their cooperative relations in an Interaction Model. Their exter...
