"Conceptual Modeling for User Interface Development provides a practical and usable technique for designing and evaluating user interfaces. The technique, called ERMIA, Entity-Relationship Modeling of Information Artefacts, has been developed with both the designers and the users of computer systems in mind, to provide a 'language' in which to express high level issues concerned with the usability of computer software and other 'information artefacts'." "Professional usability consultants, designers of interactive systems and departmental managers responsible for commissioning or selecting software systems will find this book essential reading, and students of human-computer interaction and software engineering will find it offers a highly readable account of the major problems that can occur when developing human-computer systems."--Jacket
