ABSTRACT
The development of user interface systems has languished with the stability of desktop computing. Future systems, however, that are off-the-desktop, nomadic or physical in nature will involve new devices and new software systems for creating interactive applications. Simple usability testing is not adequate for evaluating complex systems. The problems with evaluating systems work are explored and a set of criteria for evaluating new UI systems work is presented.

Evaluating the user interface: the candid camera approach
In the development of a new interactive graphics application, considerable effort was spent on designing a user interface which would be easy to use. When a portion of the application was completed, typical potential users were brought in to help ...
The University of Alberta user interface management system
In this paper the design and implementation of the University of Alberta user interface management system (UIMS) is discussed. This UIMS is based on the Seeheim model of user interfaces, which divides the user interface into three separate components. ...
