Peer reviewedBodker, Susanne – Human-Computer Interaction, 1998
Discusses the design of computer applications, focusing on understanding design representations--what makes design representations work, and how, in different contexts. Examines the place of various types of representation (e.g., formal notations, models, prototypes, scenarios, and mock-ups) in design and the role of formalisms and representations…

Peer reviewedDegler, Duane; Battle, Lisa – Performance Improvement, 2001
To support performance for an international audience of computer users, designers need to examine key elements of performance in relation to the design of systems. Discussion focuses on planning ahead for an international audience and preparing a design that keeps the performer, the process, and the information connected, resulting in optimal…

This paper identifies three rationales in the relevant literature for closing the gender gap in computing: economic, cultural and political. Each rationale implies a different set of indicators of present inequalities, disparate goals for creating equality, and distinct principles for software and web site design that aims to help girls overcome…

Large, Andrew; Beheshti, Jamshid; Nesset, Valerie; Bowler, Leanne – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2003
Describes the process undertaken by a design team comprising both elementary school students and researchers to design a Web portal intended for use by children. The approach adopted by the team was based upon several design theories related to usability studies: contextual inquiry, participatory design, and cooperative inquiry. Presents…

Biswas, Gautam; And Others – 1994
This report characterizes human problem solving in digital circuit design. Protocols of 11 different designers with varying degrees of training were analyzed by identifying the designers' problem solving strategies and discussing activity patterns that differentiate the designers. These methods are proposed as a tentative basis for assessing…

Peer reviewedBurns, Catherine M.; Vicente, Kim J. – Information Processing & Management, 1996
Describes an empirical evaluation that investigated the criteria by which designers of human-machine systems evaluate design information. Professional designers of nuclear power plant control rooms rated hypothetical information search questions in terms of relevance, importance, cost, and effort based on Rouse's model of information search…
