Towards a methodology for developing visualizations (2000)
Journal Article
GRAHAM, M., KENNEDY, J., & BENYON, D. (2000). Towards a methodology for developing visualizations. International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 53(5), 789-807. https://doi.org/10.1006/ijhc.2000.0415

This paper presents a case study of the development of a visualization to represent and explore the relationships between multiple hierarchical structures, specifically botanical taxonomies. The case study outlines the visualization's development fro... Read More about Towards a methodology for developing visualizations.

Ethnography, theory and systems design: from intuition to insight (2000)
Journal Article
MACAULAY, C., BENYON, D., & CRERAR, A. (2000). Ethnography, theory and systems design: from intuition to insight. International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 53(1), 35-60. https://doi.org/10.1006/ijhc.2000.0376

The idea for this paper came from a debate at the 1998 ISCRAT conference in Denmark on cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT). A leading activist in the movement to bring CHAT into systems design, Bonnie Nardi, asked the question; would design no...

Special issue on intelligent interface technology: editor's introduction (2000)
Journal Article
Benyon, D., & Murray, D. (2000). Special issue on intelligent interface technology: editor's introduction. Interacting with Computers, 12(4), 315-322. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0953-5438%2899%2900024-7

The term ‘Intelligent Interface Technology’ (IIT) is intended to capture the wide range of issues and methods in which some form of ‘intelligence’ is applied to both user interface design and implementation. Originally, these became known as adaptive... Read More about Special issue on intelligent interface technology: editor's introduction.

How stories capture interactions. (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Imaz, M., & Benyon, D. (1999). How stories capture interactions. In M. A. Sasse, & C. Johnson (Eds.), Human-Computer Interaction - Interact '99

Stories have an important role in designing HCI systems because they contribute to the representation of contextual information. User Stories are the first artefacts we use in order to describe interactions, but for implementation purposes we need so... Read More about How stories capture interactions..

EniSpace: Evaluating Navigation in Information Space (1999)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McCall, R., & Benyon, D. (1999). EniSpace: Evaluating Navigation in Information Space. In P. De Bra, & J. J. Leggett (Eds.), Proceedings of WebNet World Conference on the WWW and Internet 1999 (1344-1345)

Traditional methods of evaluating usability such as heuristic evaluation and cognitive walkthrough do not address all issues relating to navigation. This is despite the fact that designing effective navigation within electronic spaces is now consider... Read More about EniSpace: Evaluating Navigation in Information Space.

Metaphors and models: conceptual foundations of representations for interactive systems design (1999)
Journal Article
Benyon, D., & Imaz, M. (1999). Metaphors and models: conceptual foundations of representations for interactive systems design. Human-Computer Interaction, 14(1-2), 159-189. https://doi.org/10.1080/07370024.1999.9667268

When system developers design a computer system (or other information artifact), they must inevitably make judgments as to how to abstract the worksystem and how to represent this abstraction in their designs. In the past, such abstractions have been... Read More about Metaphors and models: conceptual foundations of representations for interactive systems design.

Beyond navigation as metaphor. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benyon, D. (1998). Beyond navigation as metaphor. In Proceedings of 2nd European Conference on Digital Libraries (705-716). https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-49653-X_71

With the development of large information spaces such as digital libraries, the notion of user navigation through such spaces has gained prominence. The popular view of navigation is that it is a conscious, goal directed activity in which someone is... Read More about Beyond navigation as metaphor..

An open model-based interface development system: The Teallach approach. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Griffiths, T., McKirdy, J., Paton, N. W., Kennedy, J., Cooper, R., Barclay, P. J., Goble, C., Gray, P., Smyth, M., West, A., & Dinn, A. (1998, June). An open model-based interface development system: The Teallach approach. Presented at DSV-IS '98: 5th International Eurographics Workshop on Design, Specification and Verification of Interactive Systems

The goal of the Teallach project is to provide facilities for the systematic development of interfaces to object databases in a manner which is independent of both a specific underlying database and operating system. Teallach's open architecture als... Read More about An open model-based interface development system: The Teallach approach..
