Theories, Methods, and Tools for the Design of User-Centered Computer Systems.
Abstract
The goal of this research at the general level is to develop theories, methods, and tools for the design of user-centered computer systems, and at the specific level to design, implement, and evaluate a customizable Personalized Intelligent Retrieval system. Our research is based on the basic hypothesis that the following duality exists: (1) user-centered system design cannot be done and understood without trying to test existing ones, extending existing ones, and designing new ones, and (2) user-centered system design cannot be understood by just doing it. The system building efforts must be based on a deep understanding of the theoretical and methodological issues behind them, derived primarily from cognitive science, and, as far as evaluation is concerned, from human factors/cognitive ergonomics.
