Some research suggests that speech dictation software is hard for novices to use and recommends that it be adapted to their preferred interaction style. Older research into how novice users approach new software can provide insights into the preconceptions that novices have about all software and the ways in which dictation software can be redesigned to be aware of these preconceptions. The ten...

This paper describes the audio human computer interface experiments of ixi in the past and outlines the current platform for future research. ixi software [5] was founded by Thor Magnusson and Enrike Hurtado Mendieta in year 2000 and since then we've been working on building prototypes in the form of screen-based graphical user interfaces for musical performance, researching human computer inte...

An interactive system must be designed for usability. But usability is often described through a number of heuristics that are diicult to use directly in the design process. This paper relates the most important usability heuristics to software properties which the developer may design for. The software properties are grouped after innuence on the interface quality and after suitability for for...

Introduction: Permit-to-work system (PTW) system is a documented system to control the activities with inherent risks and probability of accident occurrence. To inform the performance and efficiency of a system, it must be periodically monitored and evaluated, and the permit to work system is no exception of this principle. The aim of the present study was to design and develop software for eva...

Downloading software via Web is a major solution for publishers to deliver their software products. In this context, user interfaces for software downloading play a key role. Actually, they have to allow usable interactions as well as support users in taking conscious and coherent decisions about whether to accept to download a software product or not. This paper presents different design alter...

What is the question that this proposal addresses? Verifying the correctness of safety-critical computer systems, particularly those that control machinery and vehicles, is an important but complex task. Many disparate aspects of the system need to modelled, each with their own peculiarities and interactions. This is why one of the Grand Challenges in Computer Science, GC6, on “Dependable Syste...

We demonstrate through a survey of the literature on software errors that the research community has paid little attention to the problem of interface errors. The main focus of the paper is to present the results of a preliminary empirical study of error reports for a large software system. We determined that at least 66% of these errors arose from interface problems. The errors fell naturally ...

Reading is a hobby to open the knowledge windows. Besides, it can provide the inspiration and spirit to face this life. By this way, concomitant with the technology development, many companies serve the e-book or book in soft file. The system of this book of course will be much easier. No worry to forget bringing the computer organization design the hardware software interface book. You can ope...

The aim is to explain the current issues of HW/SW cosimulation and to introduce a new challenge of HW/SW cosimulation for multiprocessor SoC (MPSoC). Most of the current issues are related to raising abstraction levels of HW/SW cosimulation. Mixed-level cosimulation is explained in a unified manner using a concept of ‘HW/SW interface’. First, abstraction levels in HW/SW cosimulation are explain...
