10 Past research has proved that graphical user interfaces (GUIs) can significantly improve the effectiveness 11 of the information access task. Our work is based on the consideration that structured document retrieval 12 requires different user graphical interfaces from standard information retrieval. In structured document 13 retrieval a GUI has to enable a user to query, browse retrieved doc...

Adapting graphical user interface (GUI) to meet higher level of usability for users is one of the most interesting questions of today’s mobile computation. Users should have GUI constructed to meet their needs, habits and expectations. In this paper, we discuss existing solutions and present a solution based on mobile agents. Mobile agents ’learn’ users’ habits, cooperate with other agents and ...

Peter Parente: Clique: Perceptually Based, Task Oriented Auditory Display for GUI Applications. (Under the direction of Gary Bishop.) Screen reading is the prevalent approach for presenting graphical desktop applications in audio. The primary function of a screen reader is to describe what the user encounters when interacting with a graphical user interface (GUI). This straightforward method al...

Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) allow interaction with computer applications using physical objects called tangibles. TUIs have a number of latent advantages over traditional user interfaces including spatial naturalness and immediate haptic feedback where users receive both tactile and digital responses from computer systems. This paper presents the preliminary design and test results of a tab...

Mobility for graphical user interfaces (GUIs) is a challenging problem, as different GUIs need to be constructed for different device capabilities and changing context, preferences and users' locations. GUI developers frequently create multiple user interface versions for different devices. The solution lies in using a single, abstract, user interface description that is used later to automatic...

We present a graphical user interface (GUI) for easy, intuitive control of a group of mobile robots moving in formation, and we give a short description of the general, local, distributed formation algorithm underlying the GUI. In spite of the high level of abstraction of the GUI, it captures the full functionality of the algorithm. The GUI has been tested with robots running in a simulator, an...

The Vienna Development Method is supported by several tools. These tools allow generating Java code from a VDM++ specification but do not generate a graphical user interface (GUI). This paper describes a generic approach and tool to automatically generate a GUI in Java from a VDM++ specification. The generated GUI calls methods of the VDM++ specification, which allows testing the specification ...

This paper addresses the problem of IDE interface complexity by introducing single-window graphical user interface. This approach lies in removing additional child windows from IDE, thus allowing a user to keep only text editor window open. We describe an abstract model of IDE GUI that is based on most popular modern integrated environments and has generalized user interface parts. Then this ab...

VPSET (Vehicle Powertrain Systems Evaluation Tool) is vehicle modeling and simulation software to analyze performance and fuel economy of conventional and hybrid powertrains. VPSET has a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to guide the user during building a vehicle model. This paper discusses VPSET, its organization, structure, vehicle templates and presents validation results for select vehicles.
