Organising User Interfaces Around Reflective Accounts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over recent years, studies of human-computer interaction (HCI) from sociological and anthropological perspectives have offered radical new perspectives on how we use computer systems. These have given rise to new models of designing and studying interactive systems. In this paper, we present a new proposal which looks not at the way in which we design systems, but at the nature of the systems we design. It presents the notion of an “account”— a reflective representation that an interactive system can offer of its own activity—and shows how it can be exploited within a framework oriented around sociologically-informed models of the contingent, improvised organisation of work. This work not only introduces a new model of interactive systems design, but also illustrates the use of reflective techniques and models to create theoretical bridges between the disciplines of system design and ethnomethodology.

The industrial control room has been a strong shaping image for design of information technology at process plants and even for information and control systems in other areas. Based on recent studies of the work of process operators and on etnographically inspired field work this paper questions the relevance of control room type interfaces. The paper suggests new types of mobile interfaces, wh...
متن کاملFederating Resources of Information Systems: Browsing Interface
Designing the user interface of a federated system (what we call a browsing interface) must consider the knowledge gap that exists between desires of the users and the needs the systems are built to support. The concept of Habitable Interfaces aims to bridge the knowledge gap by providing kinds of representations and the interaction with these representations that are based on domain knowledge....
