This paper introduces an extension of UML for modeling GUI prototypes. It presents the UML profile for GUI modeling, its implementation in MagicDraw, and its application to an experimental system. The profile contains stereotypes for the major GUI components that can be found in classic GUI libraries like Java Swing and several helper stereotypes and enumerations. While UML only allows defining...

In this paper, I describe the development of Attractiveness Walkthrough (AW), a new expert-based technique of evaluating attractiveness of graphical user interface (GUI). I detail an underlying theoretical model, translation of the model implications into an evaluation protocol and planned empirical studies of the model and protocol. GUI designers and engineers may use AW for iterative GUI impr...

Breach remedies serve an important role in protecting relationship-specific investments. The theoretical literature predicts that some commonly used types of breach remedies may protect too well, in the sense that they induce overinvestment. The driving forces behind this result are the complete insurance against potential separation that breach remedies may provide, and the possibility to prev...

Information security controls can help reduce the probability of a breach, but cannot guarantee that one will not occur. In order to reduce the costs of data breaches, firms are faced with competing alternatives. Investments in ex ante security measures can help prevent a breach, but this is costly and may be inefficient; ex post mitigation efforts can help reduce losses following a breach, but...

Graphic User Interface (GUI) is commonly considered to be superior to Text-based User Interface (TUI). This study compares GUI and TUI in an electronic dental record system. Several usability analysis techniques compared the relative effectiveness of a GUI and a TUI. Expert users and novice users were evaluated in time required and steps needed to complete the task. A within-subject design was ...

A graphical user interface (GUI) system is a visual tool for users to operate computer applications. In the software engineering world, verifying that the functions of a GUI system satisfy the perspective of users is one important goal. System modeling provides an opportunity to verify the functionality of the system before implementing it. In this thesis, we model the GUI system of the CoreASM...

Privacy breaches and their regulatory implications have attracted corporate attention in recent times. An often overlooked cause of privacy breaches is human error. In this study, we first apply a model based on the widely accepted GEMS error typology to analyze publicly reported privacy breach incidents within the U.S. Then, based on an examination of the causes of the reported privacy breach ...
