Model-based userinterface (UI) development environments are aimed at generating one or many UIs from a single model or a family of models. Model-driven engineering (MDE) of UIs is assumed to be superior to those environments since they make the UI design knowledge visible, explicit, and external, for instance as model-to-model transformations and model-to-code compilation rules. These transformations and rules are often considered inflexible, complex to express, and hard to develop by UI designers and developers who are not necessarily experts in MDE. In order to overcome these shortcomings, this work introduces the concept of transformation profile that consists of two definitions: model mappings, which connect source and target models in a flexible way, and transformation templates, which gather high-level parameters to apply to transformations. This work applies these concepts in a general-purpose method for MDE of information systems. Transformation profiles can be effectively and efficiently used in any circumstances in which transformation knowledge needs to be modified by non-experts, and flexibility, modifiability, and customization are required.

Usability assessment of products based on the ISO 9241 standard has been usually carried out by using printed parts of this standard and its checklists. In this paper it is proposed a tool for supporting conformity inspections of software application userinterfaces based upon ISO 9241. The proposed expert system - X-SCI (eXpert software Conformity Inspection) - aims to give support to userinterface designers and evaluators in ISO 9241 standard inspection processes. It will treat differently these categories of professionals by assigning different degrees of certainty to their choices in each stage of the inspection. Copyright 2009 acm.

Usage data logged from user interactions can be extremely valuable for evaluating software usability. However, instrumenting software to collect usage data is a time-intensive task that often requires technical expertise as well as an understanding of the usability issues to be explored. We have developed a new technique for software instrumentation that removes the need for programming. Interactive Usability Instrumentation (IUI) allows usability evaluators to work directly with a system's interface to specify what components and what events should be logged. Evaluators are able to create higher-level abstractions on the events they log and are provided with real-time feedback on how events are logged. As a proof of the IUI concept, we have created the UMARA system, an instrumentation system that is enabled by recent advances in aspect-oriented programming. UMARA allows users to instrument software without the need for additional coding, and provides tools for specification, data collection, and data analysis. We report on the use of UMARA in the instrumentation of two large open-source projects;our experiences show that IUI can substantially simplify the process of log-based usability evaluation.

Designing and implementing an intelligent and user friendly human machine interface for any kind of software or hardware oriented application is always be a challenging task for the designers and developers because it is very difficult to understand the psychology of the user, nature of the work and best suit of the environment. This research paper is basically about to propose an intelligent, flexible and user friendly machine interface for Product Life Cycle Management products or PDM Systems since studies show that usability and human computer interaction issues are a major cause of acceptance problems introducing or using such systems. Going into details of the proposition, we present prototype implementations about theme based on design requirements, designed designs and technologies involved for the development of human machine interface.

Server Push is an essential part of modern web applications. With the ability of sending relevant information to users in reaction to new events, enables highly interactive applications on the WWW. userinterfaces of desktop applications have had a two-way communication with an underlying software since their advent, but web applications are reaching the same state only now. In addition, currently, the push is usually emulated using the pull technology, since, with the HTTP protocol alone, it is not possible to realize a real push. This paper evaluates how an instant messaging protocol, namely XMPP, can complement HTTP-based web applications. We present a communication paradigm of a push system and an implementation of it. To evaluate the implementation, a use case is designed and realized with the system. Copyright 2009 acm.
