In this paper a user-friendly environment for the representation of the dynamic results on the pantograph-catenary interactions is presented. This environment consists of an interactive interface for the representation of graphics and another for the representation of video. By means of the first interface for the representation of graphics, the user can interact with the different graphic repr...

Spatial hypertext systems typically assume that when objects are placed in proximity as a spatial aggregation, at least some part of each object will be visible, allowing an object to be selected by clicking on a visible part. This presents problems when an object becomes completely occluded. This paper presents various user interface behaviors which seek to solve the problem of discovery and e...

I am assuming here that we are intended to address visualization in particular as opposed to user interface design more generally, although of course the latter subsumes the former. I would like to note that, in my opinion, the proposed user interface mockups are very well done; visually they are professional yet appealing, they transmit a great deal of information with a minimum of clutter, an...

In this paper, we described an automatic style-specific accompaniment system and an interactive user interface designed to support creative music composition. With the use of both music theoretical knowledge and statistical learning, the system provides users with an easy start by suggesting a refined accompaniment based on the examples given by users. The interactive user interface allows user...

This article reports on experiences with collaborative interface agents using spoken dialogue to collaborate with users working with graphical user interface applications. Collaborative interface agents provide users with the means to manage tasks and leave many of the details to the agent. The article presents four different collaborative agents and associated applications. It reports on lesso...

Considering the amount of devices a user owns nowadays, a distributed user interface can become increasingly important. This requires reasoning techniques that allow making predictions of future values in the spatial model because these devices can be expected to change their location during usage. Our primary attention will be devoted to the problem of re-distribution of user interfaces in a c...

As computer interfaces can display more life-like qualities such as speech output and personable characters or agents, it becomes important to understand and assess users' interaction behavior within a social interaction framework rather than only a narrower machine interaction one. We studied how the appearance of a life-like interface agent in ̄uenced people's interaction with it, using a soci...

Interface agents are computer programs that provide personalized assistance to users with their computerbased tasks. The interface agents developed so far have focused their attention on learning a user's preferences in a given application domain and on assisting him according to them. However, in order to personalize the interaction with users, interface agents should also learn how to best in...

User interfaces of application programs are usually not designed for the physically disabled [VAN93]. Here we introduce a program for Apple Macintosh computers and PCs using MSWindows that do assist handicapped users in their interaction with standard application programs. The basic principle is to interact with an interface agent and not with the target application itself, in particular text i...
