This book describes how domain knowledge can be used in the design of interactive systems. It includes discussion of the theories and models of domain, generic domain architectures and construction of system components for specific domains. It draws on research experience from the Information Systems, Software Engineering and Human Computer Interaction communities.

Designing Effective and Usable Multimedia Systems presents research and development and industrial experience of usability engineering for multimedia user interfaces. The book discusses the methods, tools and guidelines for multimedia use and implementation and covers the following topics in detail: Design methods for multimedia (MM) systems; Social and cognitive models for MM interaction; Empirical studies of the effects of MM on learning and behavior; Design and prototyping support tools; Intelligent MM Systems and Design support; Usability evaluation. £/LIST£ Designing Effective and Usable Multimedia Systems contains the proceedings of the International Working Conference on Designing Effective and usable Multimedia Systems, sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), held in Stuttgart, Germany, in September 1998. It is essential reading for computer scientists, software developers, information systems managers and human scientists, especially those working in the applied disciplines such as human factors and interface design.

This volume explores how domain knowledge is used in the design of interactive systems. It covers theories and models of domain, how such knowledge is used in the design process, generic domain architectures and construction of system components for specific domains. Research on domain knowledge is a growing issue, and this book offers research experience by key workers, industrial perspectives and design approaches from different communities. The book is divided into five parts: ecological studies of domain modelling; process view of domain engineering; role of domains in knowledge engineering; domain modelling for user system interfaces; and formal approaches. The work contains the selected proceedings of the Joint Working Conference on Domain Knowledge for Interactive System Design, held in Geneva, Switzerland, in May 1996.

This text presents research and development and industrial experience of usability engineering for multimedia user interfaces. It discusses the methods, tools and guidelines for multimedia use and implementation and covers the following topics in detail: design methods for multimedia (MM) systems; social and cognitive models for MM interaction; empirical studies of the effects of MM on learning and behaviour; design and prototyping support tools; intelligent MM Systems and Design support; and usability evaluation. The book contains the proceedings of the International Working Conference on Designing Effective and usable Multimedia Systems, sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), held in Stuttgart, Germany, in September 1998. It should be of interest to computer scientists, software developers, information systems managers and human scientists, especially those working in the applied disciplines such as human factors and interface design.
