The user interface to computer-based information systems: a survey of current software design practice

Abstract

From a survey of 201 people concerned with information-system design, estimates for 83 systems indicate that on average 30—35, per cent of operational software is devoted to the user-system interface (USI). In the design of USI software, survey responses indicate that improvements are needed in requirements definition, design documentation and design guidelines.

Practitioner Tools and Workstyles for User-Interface Design

Many studies have analyzed general software development practices and how organizations can better support them. However, literature that qualitatively studies user-interface-related work practices in software development is relatively rare. Supporting workstyle transitions in UI practices is nonetheless important. A survey of 370 practitioners about their workstyles and tool use offers concrete examples of design tools that support the most important workstyle transitions. The survey also resulted in recommendations for making design tools more human-centric and appealing to practitioners interested in the UI aspects of software development

Mapping the design information representation terrain

Some early results from an ongoing design representation technology survey and assessment are presented. The objectives were to provide a context for the evaluation of alternatives for representation of software design information and to serve as a catalyst for further research in the area. The scope of the problem and the survey approach are described. A rough `technology map' of the design representation `terrain' that resulted from the survey is discussed, along with some observations derived from the survey     

Do human factors experts accept the ISO 9241 Part 10—Dialogue Principle—standard?

This paper presents the results of an international questionnaire survey that was developed to analyse how the potential addressees of the ISO 9241 part 10 standard—human factor (HF) experts engaged in the design, evaluation, purchase, and application of software systems—accept the first committee draft of this standard. It reports how HF experts from nine countries evaluated the First Committee Draft of ISO 9241 Part 10. Inquiries were made about whether the standard provides a framework for the design and evaluation of dialogue systems, or whether the subject of the standard is mature enough to be published as an international recommendation. Results indicate a widespread approval among 90 HF experts of the form and content of ISO 9241 Part 10.     

OO-CASE tools: an evaluation of Rose

Object-oriented software development utilizes new design methodologies. These methodologies can be supported by computer-aided software engineering tools, such as Rational Rose. A survey of software developers identifies the demand for various features, and reveals strengths and need for improvements in Rational Rose. Overall, respondents indicated that Rational Rose provides strong support for OO design, but could additional support for teamwork, prototyping, and improvements in ease of use.     

基于统一描述网络结构模型的链路预测方法

面向网络链路预测的随机分块模型和层次结构模型利用全概率思想计算节点对之间的链路形成概率,但无法有效利用从宏观、中观网络结构到微观低阶环或模体结构中的重叠结构信息,导致链路预测结果的准确率较低。根据笛卡尔积和幂集等概念,借鉴随机分块模型和层次结构模型思想,构建一种对层次结构信息、重叠结构信息和微观结构信息进行统一描述的网络结构模型（USI）。基于USI模型提出一种链路预测方法,依据网络结构信息给出USI模型中的集合划分,利用最大似然估计法计算节点对之间的链路形成概率,最终根据概率并联策略得到链路预测结果。实验结果表明,与基于节点相似性的经典链路预测方法相比,该方法在LT、ER、OP网络数据集上的AUC值提升了0.075~0.143,具有更高的链路预测准确性,并且验证了网络规模对链路形成具有一定的影响。     

An expert survey on kinds,influence factors and documentation of design decisions in practice

Support for capturing architectural knowledge has been identified as an important research challenge. As the basis for an approach to recovering design decisions and capturing their rationale, we performed an expert survey in practice to gain insights into the different kinds, influence factors, and sources for design decisions and also into how they are currently captured in practice. The survey was conducted with 25 software architects, software team leads, and senior developers from 22 different companies in 10 different countries with more than 13 years of experience in software development on average. The survey confirms earlier work by other authors on design decision classification and influence factors, and also identifies additional kinds of decisions and influence factors not mentioned in previous work. In addition, we gained insight into the practice of capturing, the relative importance of different decisions and influence factors, and into potential sources for recovering decisions.     

Queueing network software for systems modelling

Several requirements are placed on queueing models of computer systems. These include credibility, accuracy, timeliness and cost. Modelling software can have critical impact on all of these requirements. We survey the characteristics of major pieces of queueing software. Based on this survey we synthesize a set of design objectives for queueing software. Finally, we discuss our own queueing network software, the Research Queueing Package (RESQ), in light of these objectives.     

A survey on search-based software design

This survey investigates search-based approaches to software design. The basics of the most popular meta-heuristic algorithms are presented as background to the search-based viewpoint. Software design is considered from a wide viewpoint, including topics that can also be categorized as software maintenance or re-engineering. Search-based approaches have been used in research from the high architecture design level to software clustering and finally software refactoring. Enhancing and predicting software quality with search-based methods is also taken into account as a part of the design process. The background for the underlying software engineering problems is discussed, after which search-based approaches are presented. Summarizing remarks and tables collecting the fundamental issues of approaches for each type of problem are given. The choices regarding critical decisions, such as representation and fitness function, when used in meta-heuristic search algorithms, are emphasized and discussed in detail. Ideas for future research directions are also given.

GPU Acceleration for FEM-Based Structural Analysis

Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) have greatly exceeded their initial role of graphics accelerators and have taken a new role of co-processors for computation—heavy tasks. Both hardware and software ecosystems have now matured, with fully IEEE compliant double precision and memory correction being supported and a rich set of software tools and libraries being available. This in turn has lead to their increased adoption in a growing number of fields, both in academia and, more recently, in industry. In this review we investigate the adoption of GPUs as accelerators in the field of Finite Element Structural Analysis, a design tool that is now essential in many branches of engineering. We survey the work that has been done in accelerating the most time consuming steps of the analysis, indicate the speedup that has been achieved and, where available, highlight software libraries and packages that will enable the reader to take advantage of such acceleration. Overall, we try to draw a high level picture of where the state of the art is currently at.

Learning art with computers — a LISREL model

Abstract This paper surveys the attitudes on the use of computers for aesthetic communication. In spite of the proliferation of computer art software and the popularity of art galleries on the world-wide web, many artists still find it difficult to accept computer art as a form of art. Many of them find only commercial values in computer art. To understand the latent attitudes constituting this rejection, a survey was conducted among high school students and the data was analysed with LISREL structural equation modelling techniques. Results indicate that aesthetic concerns, conservatism, and stereotypes are the major factors accounting for the negative attitude. Implications for system design to overcome the negative attitudes are discussed.
