Evaluating the Usability of Visual Formalisms
نویسنده
چکیده
The design of user interfaces for information-intensive applications is a challenging problem, where the organisation, visualisation and manipulation of complex data are important. Visual formalisms are proposed as a good basis for the design of interfaces to complex scientific, engineering and business applications. They are diagrammatic displays with well-defined semantics for expressing relations. This research work focuses on evaluating the usability of visual formalisms. We show by way of an example how to empirically assess the effectiveness of visual formalisms supported in an object-oriented database.
