This paper argues for a model-driven framework for integrating human interface engineering with software engineering. The usage-centered design process, a robust and proven process grounded in software engineering, is briefly described and contrasted with traditional user-centered approaches. The connections between the core models of usage-centered design and their software engineering counter...

A number of design models have been proposed in the area of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) to support user-centered system design. High-level, abstract task models and detailed interface specification languages are among the most widely used. However, the need for designing applications to run in a number of different devices and platforms presents new issues that must be addressed from a pla...

Technological developments have brought a substantive revolution in human society. The famous motto of the Chicago fare “Science finds, Industry applies, Man conforms” has undergone a tergiversation to “People propose, Science studies, Technology conforms”. This change of mind resulted in evolving novel design methodologies that ultimately resulted in an extensive research, initially in Man Mac...

In tightly circumscribed communication situations, an interactive system resident on a mobile device can assist Deaf people with their communication and information needs. The Deaf users considered here use South African Sign Language and information is conveyed by a collection of pre-recorded video clips and images. The system was designed and implemented according to our method of community-b...
