SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book discusses the issues arising from the emerging discipline of User Interface Systems Engineering (UISE). It contains contributions from software engineers involved in the development and implementation of systems, systems modellers charged with developing representations for systems, and tool builders developing enhanced software tools for systems developers. By providing different viewpoints this book bridges the gap between these groups of previously distant practitioners. The contributions in this book have been carefully updated and edited to provide a clear review of the current state of the art in this important area. Critical Issues in User Interface Systems Engineering will be appropriate for a wide range of specialist courses on user interface development, particularly software engineering courses on user interface design and for courses on human-computer interaction which emphasise the need to implement rather than simply discuss interfaces.
