We describe a laboratory study of speech archive browsing using a GUI. We evaluate the effects of four factors: task type, familiarity, structure, and play operation duration. We found that while users learnt the overall layout of topics in the archive, they experienced major problems in learning the internal structure of archival topics. Contrary to our expectations, we also discovered that structural information and fixed duration play operations were less useful for browsing than anticipated. We discuss the impact of our results for speech archive UI design, and describe a new UI which supports navigation within topic.","PeriodicalId":153619,"journal":{"name":"CHI 98 Conference Summary on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116173487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The value of usability must be communicated across multiple levels of an organisation, which requires speaking several “languages”.

It will address issues from how to develop a usability strategy for a whole organisation to how to find data to convince stakeholders of a single usability activity. needs, business objectives and culture. This information reveals barriers and opportunities which can hinder or facilitate usability acceptance.

Many consumer information appliances and handheld devices are often more limited in their characteristics, yet m increasingly important to bring the power of the Web, productivity tools, databases, transactions, and entertainment to more and more people on the go, or at least not in front of higher-performance PCs, NCs, or workstations. Professionals with insight into the challenges and achievements of designing graphical user interfaces for small displays will debate the best way to design fa products in which many characteristics are significantly limited, e.g., fonts, color resolution, spatial resolution, and graphics. These user interfaces, which might be called “baby faces” seem simpler in some ways, but also are actually quite complex as a design challenge when one designs to account for their limited characteristics.","PeriodicalId":153619,"journal":{"name":"CHI 98 Conference Summary on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123473932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system supports users in exchanging recommendations and exploits the social relation between recommenders and recipients of recommendations instead of computing a degree of interest. In order to help users estimate the potential interestingness of a recommended webpage, the system augments the recommendation object with additional data indicating how previous recipients of the recommendation have dealt with the corresponding webpage.The system has been implemented as a collection of personal user agents exchanging recommendations with a central recommendation server. The user agents are implemented as Java applets and the recommendation server is a Java remote object realized as object factory.","PeriodicalId":153619,"journal":{"name":"CHI 98 Conference Summary on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125653658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
