To support CSCS research users we built STM3, a software platform on which advanced chemistry visualization techniques can be integrated. Its main goal is not to replace existing tools, but to provide functionalities not covered by them. STM3’s unusual characteristic among chemistry visualization tools is its ability to combine chemistry and general visualization techniques in the same view. ST...

User-interface metaphors are a widely used, but poorly understood, technique employed in almost all graphical user-interfaces. Although considerable research has gone into the applications of the technique, little work has been performed on the analysis of the concept itself. In this thesis, user-interface metaphor is defined and classified in considerable detail so as to make it more understan...

Contemporary enterprise web applications provide complex user interface functionality to attract users with desktop-like features. Naturally, such increasing UI complexity and user expectation results in greater application resource demands, which may degrade performance. System performance is measured by application responsiveness for end users in service delivery. Web application performance ...

In this paper we discuss the lessons learned creating a tangible user interface to teach argument to children. By gradually and iteratively introducing our technology we were able to isolate the effect of the physical affordances versus the technology components of our interface.

Automatic user interface generation is a widely discussed topic in the research community. In recent years several approaches have been developed to support this kind of generation. There is a need to summarise this. This article should provide a basis for a founded discussion in this direction. The article gives an overview about model-based user interface software tools. The special attention...

User-interface metaphor is an extremely popular technique for creating usable user-interfaces. Although there has been considerable research into its application in practical settings, there has been little investigation into the concept itself. This paper applies Peircean semiotics to user-interface metaphor in order to provide a structured model of the concept. As an end result, a far more de...

Mobiles are considered to be the most frequently used electronic items in world after electricity. It is probably the only device that can be used by any gender with no age limits depending on its functionality. This paper present the interactive interface of Mobile and particularly aiming the use of advanced phones which are also called smart phones. With the changes in the trend where users a...

User-interface metaphors are used frequently in all manner of user-interfaces both as an explicit design decision and also unconsciously. Our past work has addressed the lack of a proper taxonomy of user-interface metaphor by applying research from linguistic philosophy. In this paper we examine the merit of the taxonomy by applying it to a specific user-interface: the Microsoft Office “Project...

1 Abstract No past research has addressed the connection between learner models and interaction models. Nor has any previous work accounted for the dynamic modelling of interface contents based on the underlying pedagogic directives. This paper describes how cognitive and computational concepts can be applied to building multimodal interface and learner models a nd for maintaining model consist...
