High-fidelity physics enhances user interfaces with realism that more closely engage users. However, indirect control of UI objects through physical forces interferes with direct control of the user experience, which limits the use of physics in productivity UIs. This paper demonstrates how UI physics should and can be enhanced with magic that violates physically consistent reasoning to allow f...

Structured document retrieval requires different user graphical interfaces from standard Information Retrieval. An Information Retrieval system dealing with structured documents has to enable a user to query, browse retrieved documents, provide query refinement and relevance feedback based not only on full documents, but also on specific document structural parts. In this paper, we present a ne...

User interfaces are always one of the most important applied and study fields of information technology. The development and expansion of cognitive science studies and functionalization of its tools such as BCI1, as well as popularization of methods such as SSVEP2 to stimulate brain waves, have led to using these techniques every day, especially in appropriate solutions for physically and menta...

I am broadly interested in human computer interaction, machine learning and artificial intelligence. My dissertation demonstrates how to automatically generate personalized adaptive user interfaces. My central thesis is that personalized user interfaces, which are adapted to a person’s devices, tasks, preferences and abilities, can improve user satisfaction and performance. Further, I demonstra...

This paper presents a technique for test-driven development of GUIbased applications, as well as a pilot evaluation. In our approach, user interface prototypes are created in such a way as to allow capture/replay tools to record interactions with them. These recordings can then be replayed on the actual GUI as it is being developed in a test-driven fashion. The pilot evaluation found that devel...

Designing a user interface with a consistent visual design and textual properties with current generation GUI development tools is cumbersome. SHERLOCK, a family of consistency checking tools, has been designed to evaluate visual design and textual properties of interface, make the GUI evaluation process less arduous, and aid usability testing. SHERLOCK includes a dialog box summary table to pr...

This paper presents a method of working holistically with the design of a graphical interface by studying the physical environment and the social interaction that takes place within it. After an introduction that describes the case project and approach, a conceptual model that has been applied during the project is presented. It is shown how this framework assisted the designers throughout the ...

Robust control theory considers a fundamental and practically important issue in control engineering: plant uncertainty. It turns out that many of the simplest questions are very di cult to solve, but researchers have made considerable progress over the last twenty years. Nevertheless the theory has so far had less impact on practice than one might imagine. (Simulation and modeling tools, for e...

The Active Objects Model (AOM) as a model-based user interface development environment is presented. The paper highlights the convenience of the trajectory notion in the description of the structure and functionality of graphical user interfaces. The AOM model consists of a set of active agents with private rule based behaviours. Model entities involve topological information which define, thro...
