Picking the best icons for a graphical user interface is difficult. We present a new method which, given several icon candidates representing functionality, selects a complete icon set optimized for comprehensibility and identifiability. These two properties are measured using human computation. We apply our method to a domain with a less established iconography and produce several icon sets. T...

MT Icon is an Icon language interpreter that supports multiple tasks, where a task is the execution state of a program within the Icon virtual machine. MT Icon includes language extensions that allow Icon programs to load, execute, communicate with, and control one another, all within a single instantiation of the Icon interpreter. This document describes the language extensions and provides ex...

In order to explore the usability and ease of use of icon design, the icon design method based on the combination of semiotics and user cognitive psychology is raised. Based on the principle of matching the icon design knowledge and user knowledge, the icon design process is analyzed from four dimensions, namely the semantic expression of elements, the structure of elements, the interface and c...

This paper describes ICON, a novel editor designed to configure a set of input devices and connect them to actions into a graphical interactive application. ICON allows physically challenged users to connect alternative input devices and/or configure their interaction techniques according to their needs. It allows skilled users – graphic designers or musicians for example – to configure any ICO...

We examined whether timeline icons improved older and younger adults' comprehension of medication information. In Experiment 1, comprehension of instructions with the icon (icon/text format) and without the icon (text-only format) was assessed by questions about information that was (a) implicit in the text but depicted explicitly by the icon (total dose in a 24 hour period), (b) stated and dep...

In this paper we describe an ongoing project aimed at investigating the impact of feature interaction problems on computer telephony integration (CTI). As a representative and sophisticated example of CTI we use a call center. We outline a typical structure of a callcenter that comprises computing and telephony equipment, software and personnel. We then discuss the specific features of call cen...
