These methods do not deal with user interface design. The tutorial teaches OVID, a systematic method for designing Object User Interfaces for use by product design teams. OVID is a major step in changing user interface design from art to science. It emphasizes the production of a complete, accurate model that can be used as input to program design methodologies.

Twenty-two Tips for a Happier, Healthier Prototype

However, there is more to establishing a successful EUI prototyping effort than simply possessing a background in EUI design and having access to a prototyping tool. Indeed, it has been our experience that the success of a prototyping effort is dependent on many factors - some obvious, some not so obvious, and others learned only through postgraduate training at the School of Hard Knocks. The purpose of this paper is to describe 22 tips we believe will help ensure a successful prototyping effort.

It applies many of the tools and techniques used in object-oriented code design to the domain of the user interface. OVID brings rigor to the design process and produces output that feeds directly into code design. OVID helps to create interfaces that meet user requirements and are easy to use.

User-Centered Design: An Integrated Approach with Cdrom

Or perhaps they're not saying anything at all. Then this book is for you. It provides an integrated approach to User-Centered Design (UCD) with an emphasis on using UCD to make products easy to buy, learn, and use. It focuses on designing a compelling "total customer experience"everything a customer sees, hears, and touches about a product or system. The integrated version of User-Centered Design, described in this book, was initially developed at IBM in the early 1990s by Karel Vredenburg. A team of experts at IBM continuously worked with the first author to improve this version of UCD. It is currently in its third major version. Scott Isensee and Carol Righi were instrumental in the evolution of the approach not only while they were at IBM but also after they left the company. Since leaving IBM, Scott has applied UCD effectively to the design of the i-opener information appliance at NetPliance and currently implements UCD at BMC Software. Carol formed her own company, Righi Interface Engineering, Inc. She has led UCD projects both while at IBM and now as a consultant for clients such as Chrysler, MetLife, and the Usability Professionals' Association and has taught User-Centered Design classes to major corporations. We continue to run a highly popular workshop entitled, "How to Introduce, Deploy, and Optimize User-Centered Design in Your Organization." This book is a distillation of our collective experience and that of our colleagues in introducing UCD to many hundreds ofcompanies and deploying it on a few thousand projects over the past 10 years. We have used the approach to design products ranging from mainframe computers to integrated circuits, notebook computers to Web appliances, database software to speech recognition software, Web site portals to the Web site for the Olympics, and we have used it on consulting projects worldwide for many industries, including healthcare, finance and banking, aerospace, insurance, automotive, and retail. We sincerely hope that you enjoy reading the book and applying the information contained within it.

New internet-technologies, coupled with the proliferation and networking of computers have given rise to new applications. A truly “wired world” is emerging where access and manipulation of information are moving away from the confines of the desktop to impact more of our daily lives. This panel session will discuss the human factors issues associated with new internet technologies, products, and services.
