Communication technology, such as devices using the Bluetooth technology, has developed with a tremendous speed and is bringing us to the age of ubiquitous computing. In contrast, the graphical user interface (GUI) used on standard desktop computers has not changed much in the last 15 years. An analysis of Bluetooth usage models aids the discovery of the implicit assumptions behind the Windows ...

It is known to be inherently more difficult and laborintensive to functionally test software applications that employ a graphical user interface front-end, due to the vast GUI input space. We propose an automated testing framework for functional and statistical testing of GUI-driven applications, using a combination of two rigorous software specification and testing methods and integrating them...

The graphical user interface has brought great values in the field of human computer interface. However, the conventional GUI is more mechanical and does not recognize or communicate emotions. The modern GUIs are trying to infer the likely emotional state and personality of the user and communicate through a corresponding emotional state. Emotions can be expressed in graphical icons, sounds, pi...

In this paper we introduce ProThes, a system for focused Web information retrieval. ProThes combines three approaches: metasearch, advanced graphical user interface (GUI) for query specification, and thesaurusbased query techniques. ProThes attempts to employ domain-specific knowledge, which is represented by a conceptual thesaurus. Moreover, ProThes uses domain-specific results ranking heurist...

Abstract Seismic vulnerability assessment of historical unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings is crucial for the authorities due to high susceptibility URM earthquakes. Open system earthquake engineering simulation (OpenSees) a well-known, powerful, and versatile seismic analysis platform. In lack free graphical user interface (GUI) buildings, Hyperomet was designed bridge gap between n...

User interfaces have special characteristics that differentiate them from the rest of the software code. Typical software metrics that indicate its complexity and quality may not be able to distinguish a complex Graphical User Interface (GUI) or a high quality one from another that is not. This paper is about suggesting and introducing some GUI structural metrics that can be gathered dynamicall...

The proposed graphical user interface (GUI) for microdata protection serves as an easyto-handle tool for users who want to use the sdcMicro package for statistical disclosure control but are not familiar with the native R command line interface. In addition to that, interactions between objects that result from the anonymization process are provided within this GUI. This allows an automated rec...

In Scicos, a graphical user interface (GUI) has been developed for the initialization of Modelica models. The GUI allows the user to fix/relax variables and parameters of the model as well as change their initial/guess values. The output of the initialization GUI is a pure algebraic system of equations which is solved by a numerical solver. Once the algebraic equations solved, the initial value...

This paper presents the design and development of a low power embedded system for the measurement and monitoring of physiological parameters like body temperature, respiration, blood pressure and ECG. The design is developed around a low power microcontroller MSP430 from Texas Instruments. A wireless sensor module is used to transfer the data from microcontroller to the PC and a graphical user ...

The world of desktop interfaces has been dominated for years by the concept of windows and standardized user interface (UI) components. Still, while supporting the interaction and information exchange between the users and the computer system, graphical user interface (GUI) widgets are rather one-sided, neglecting to capture the subjective facets of the user experience. In this paper, we propos...
