We present an open source software implementation of a popular mathematical method developed by M.R. Yeadon for calculating the body and segment inertia parameters of a human body. The software is written in a high level open source language and provides three interfaces for manipulating the data and the model: a Python API, a command-line user interface, and a graphical user interface. Thus th...

The usability evaluation of the software interfaces is one of the prominent concepts in Human Computer Interaction (HCI). In order to increase the usability, the design of software interfaces becomes an important task for HCI experts. This paper describes a new HCI based software development approach called the Usability Evaluation based Model (UEM). The UEM consists of five processes that help...

The process of designing and constructing user interfaces is critical for building systems that satisfy the customer's needs, both current and future. This process includes the original design of the interface, the implementation of the system, and the modifications to the operational system. These modifications are endemic in interactive systems. Since the user interface can account for approx...

Achieving correct user interface software is diicult because such software is complex, highly interactive, modeless, concurrent, graphical, and has user-based real-time requirements. In this paper I propose developing a framework for applying formal methods to testing of user interface software. I survey relevant work in the areas of formal development of user interface software and speciicatio...

Nowadays, computers play a very important role, that is to say, as a communication tool between people. This introduces the interface between human and machines as a key player, therefore the importance of these interfaces. The existing software development processes recognize this importance but do not establish precise guidelines for the construction of the user interface as an activity withi...

User interface design is a central issue for the usability of a software product. In this chapter, general requirements referring to the international software ergonomics standardization and specific design features for the user interface of learning systems are presented. Orientation and feedback for the learner are the most relevant issues of interface design of learning systems. Information ...

Conveying a positive User eXperience (UX) is essential for the success of any application, as it affects use a product. Nevertheless, novice software engineers may have difficulties in finding an appropriate solution for UX problems due to their lack of knowledge in interface design. User interface design patterns are well-working solutions to user problems that occur repeatedly which can help ...

Concurrent increases in network bandwidths and processor speeds have created a performance bottleneck at the workstation-to-network host interface . This is especially true for BISDN networks where the fixed length ATM cell is mismatched with application requirements for data transfer; a successful hardware/software architecture will resolve such differences and offer high end-to-end performanc...

We recently developed an audio driver in the FreeBSD operating system. In this work, we decided to consider compatibility with existing software interfaces only as a secondary issue, to be implemented at a later time and only for those applications which could not be adapted to the new software interface. This turned out to be a signiicant advantage , since it let us design the driver (and part...

in this paper, a mechanized system for self-assessment based on process-oriented approach of iso 9004:2000 has been developed. to design of this mechanized system, the expert system has been used as in providing the assessment and scoring questions the experts’ knowledge, head auditors of quality management system, has been used and this knowledge has been saved in the access software database....
