A software tool for evaluating navigation (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McCall, R., & Benyon, D. (1998, September). A software tool for evaluating navigation. Presented at 13th British Computer Society Annual Conference on Human Computer Interaction, HCI’98

Traditional methods of evaluating the usability of software systems largely ignore the problem of navigation within computer based environments. In contrast the 'Navigation of Information Space' paradigm (Benyon and Höök, 1997) places the navigabilit... Read More about A software tool for evaluating navigation.

Seeing the wood for the trees (1997)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Turner, P., Rogers, A. R., Turner, S., & Ellman, J. (1997, November). Seeing the wood for the trees. Presented at 3rd ERCIM Workshop on "User Interfaces for All"

This paper describes the work in progress of the TREE project. TREE is a European-funded language engineering project addressing the issue of advertising and accessing employment opportunities across Europe. Advertisements for jobs will be stored in...

Critical Issues in User Interface Systems Engineering (1996)
Book
Benyon, D., & Palanque, P. (Eds.). (1996). Critical Issues in User Interface Systems Engineering. Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4471-1001-9

This book developed from an IFIP workshop which brought together methods and architecture researchers in Human Computer Interaction and Software Engineering. To an extent this introduction is a little unfair to the authors, as we have distilled the r... Read More about Critical Issues in User Interface Systems Engineering.

Domains Models for User Interface Design (1996)
Book Chapter
Benyon, D. (1996). Domains Models for User Interface Design. In D. Benyon, & P. Palanque (Eds.), Critical Issues in User Interface Systems Engineering (3-19). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4471-1001-9_1

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is concerned with developing computer-based systems which help people undertake their work or other activities and which demonstrate a high degree of usability. Both the process of development and the various products... Read More about Domains Models for User Interface Design.

The role of metaphor at the human computer interface. (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smyth, M., & Knott, R. P. (1994, November). The role of metaphor at the human computer interface. Presented at OZCHI94 - Harmony through working together

Interface metaphors are introduced as a technique to facilitate the learning of systems. To better understand this process, metaphors are discussed in terms of their role in the formation of mental models. This suggests that the principle advantage o...

A Functional Model of Interacting Systems: A Semiotic Approach (1994)
Book Chapter
Benyon, D. (1994). A Functional Model of Interacting Systems: A Semiotic Approach. In J. Connolly, & E. Edmonds (Eds.), CSCW and Artificial Intelligence; Computer Supported Cooperative Work (105-125). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4471-2035-3_8

Recent developments in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) share a common problem: communication. We are moving towards a situation of multiple interacting systems... Read More about A Functional Model of Interacting Systems: A Semiotic Approach.

Adaptive systems: from intelligent tutoring to autonomous agents (1993)
Journal Article
Benyon, D., & Murray, D. (1993). Adaptive systems: from intelligent tutoring to autonomous agents. Knowledge-Based Systems, 6(4), 197-219. https://doi.org/10.1016/0950-7051%2893%2990012-i

Computer systems which can automatically alter aspects of their functionality or interface to suit the needs of individuals or groups of users have appeared over the years in a variety of guises. Most recently, attention has focused on intelligent in... Read More about Adaptive systems: from intelligent tutoring to autonomous agents.

Adaptive systems: A solution to usability problems (1993)
Journal Article
Benyon, D. (1993). Adaptive systems: A solution to usability problems. User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction, 3(1), 65-87. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf01099425

Improving the usability of computer systems is perhaps the most important goal of human-computer interaction research. Current approaches to usability engineering tend to focus on simply improving the interface. An alternative is to build intelligenc...
