Scaling Up Agent Coordination Strategies ( Edmund H. Durfee ; IEEE Computer Magazine 2001-07)

- Exactly what an intelligent agent is and in what sense a computational agent can behave intelligently remain the subjects of considerable debate. However, most researchers and developers would agree that coordination is an intelligent agent's central concern. Without coordination, agents can unintentionally waste their efforts, squander resources, or fail to accomplish objectives that require collective effort. Advances in agent-oriented software engineering make it possible to develop complex, distributed systems, but the component agents must be able to act and interact flexibly. Characterizing agent population properties, their task environments, and their collective behavior are key to understanding the capabilities and limitations of coordination strategies that support flexible component agent interaction. Researchers face the challenge of developing a better-- preferably quantifiable--understanding of exactly how far different strategies can scale along the dimensions required to apply intelligent agent systems to increasingly challenging problems.

Sketching Interfaces: Toward More Human Interface Design ( James A. Landay, Brad A. Myers ; IEEE Computer Magazine 2001-03)

- An interactive user-interface design tool supports electronic sketching, giving designers more freedom to change sketches and more flexibility in creating and evaluating a design prototype.

Separating User Interface Code ( Martin Fowler ; IEEE Software Magazine 2001-03)

Usability Basics for Software Developers ( Xavier Ferré, Natalia Juristo, Helmut Windl, Larry Constantine ; IEEE Software Magazine 2001-01)

- This tutorial examines the relationship between usability and the user interface and discusses how the usability process follows a design-evaluate-redesign cycle. It also discusses some management issues an organization must face when applying usability techniques.

Usability and the Bottom Line ( George M. Donahue ; IEEE Software Magazine 2001-01)

- There's little debate that usability engineering benefits end users, but its benefit for companies and the people who work for them is less widely known. The author discusses these broader usability benefits and also how to use a cost-benefit analysis to demonstrate the value of usability to your company's bottom line.

Guest Editors' Introduction: Introducing Usability ( Natalia Juristo, Helmut Windl, Larry Constantine ; IEEE Software Magazine 2001-01)

Partnering Usability with Development: How Three Organizations Succeeded ( Karla Radle, Sarah Young ; IEEE Software Magazine 2001-01)

- Improving product usability enhances an organization's productivity, competitiveness, and profitability. However, integrating usability practice—or human factors engineering—into an organization is challenging. These case studies examine how three organizations succeeded.

Engineering Joy ( Marc Hassenzahl, Andreas Beu, Michael Burmester ; IEEE Software Magazine 2001-01)

- Joy of use has become a buzzword in user interface design although serious attempts at defining it remain sparse. The authors propose systematic methods of taking into account one of its main determinants, hedonic quality, and its complex interplay with usability and utility as a step toward truly engineering the user experience.

Integrating Usability Techniques into Software Development ( Jean Anderson, Francie Fleek, Kathi Garrity, Fred Drake ; IEEE Software Magazine 2001-01)

- Focusing on the user early in the development process goes a long way toward improving product quality and eliminating rework. In this article, the authors show how their company is working toward this goal.

Thinking Outside the Box at the IHMC ( Scott Hamilton ; IEEE Computer Magazine 2001-01)

- The IHMC's human-centered-computing approach to research embraces a closely interrelated collection of theory-based, yet highly practical, applications.

Face Recognition for Smart Environments ( Alex (Sandy) Pentland, Tanzeem Choudhury ; IEEE Computer Magazine 2000-02)

- Computers of the future will interact with us more like humans. A key element of that interaction will be their ability to recognize our faces and even understand our expressions.

Mobile-Agent Coordination Models for Internet Applications ( Giacomo Cabri, Letizia Leonardi, Franco Zambonelli ; IEEE Computer Magazine 2000-02)

- Internet applications face challenges that mobile agents and the adoption of enhanced coordination models may overcome. To win the race, coordination models have to be inspired by the Linda coordination model and enriched by programmable reactivity.

Facing Up to New Interfaces ( Ilan Greenberg ; IEEE Computer Magazine 1999-04)

Wearable Devices: New Ways to Manage Information ( Mark Billinghurst, Thad Starner ; IEEE Computer Magazine 1999-01)

- The new generation of wearables may look very much like eyeglasses or even an ordinary jacket. But with this new convenience comes a host of challenges in redefining the bond between computer and user.

Guest Editor's Introduction: Migrating Software to the World Wide Web ( Ellis Horowitz ; IEEE Software Magazine 1998-05)

- We are often faced these days with having to port an existing application to our company's Web-based intranet. This special focus section deals with some of the problems software developers have faced, and how they have solved them, when porting legacy software to the Web.

New Interfaces: Making Computers More Accessible ( John Edwards ; IEEE Computer Magazine 1997-12)

Teaching Agents to Learn: From User Study to Implementation ( David Maulsby, Ian H. Witten ; IEEE Computer Magazine 1997-11)

- By testing and critiquing our design ideas with human users, we were able to stay focused on our most important objective: intelligent agents that make computer-based work more productive and more enjoyable.

Designing Interfaces for Programmers ( Robin Jeffries ; IEEE Software Magazine 1997-11)

- Tools, techniques, and concepts to optimize user interfaces.

Navigating the Applet-Browser Divide ( Erika Kindlund ; IEEE Software Magazine 1997-09)

- Tools, techniques, and concepts to optimize user interfaces.
