Correlating Computer User Stress and Performance in Both Preferred and Non-preferred Modalities
Most computer interfaces are designed in a one-size-fits-all fashion, which does not account for individual differences in abilities and preferences. Some computer users thrive with one software application while another user may struggle to use the same software. Some people tend to perform very …

Text entry, analysis and correction help : assisting the disabled computer user with data entry
It was suggested several decades ago that computers would be the single biggest step forward in integrating people with physical disabilities into "normal" society. At that stage, much work was done in writing software and designing hardware that allowed computer operators with disabilities to use …

Analysis of a process and computer user interface for data analytics results for patient discharge decision making
Initially, computer aids simply automated the processes that humans had developed to complete various tasks. Their primary contribution was to increase efficiency by automating repetitive, tedious tasks, both physical and cognitive. Many years later, sophisticated computer aids employ a broad-scale …

Hybrid user interfaces : design guidelines and implementation examples
A hybrid user interface is a new type of computer user interface that achieves high usability by combining features of graphical user interfaces and command line interfaces. The main goal of a hybrid user interface is to increase the efficiency of a system that is used to perform repetitive tasks. …

Present use and future needs of selected Virginia home computer owners
The study was designed to identify how home computers were being used by 200 selected home computer owners living in Richmond, Virginia. The 1984 study identified the expressed problems these owners experienced using home computers and determined what changes or information the owners believed were …

Representing the user: a sociological study of the discourse of human computer interaction
The discipline of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) was established in the early 1980's on the foundations of cognitive psychology, computer science and ergonomics. In recent years however, claims have been made for the relevance of forms of sociology to this avowedly multidisciplinary field, and a …
