IUI

CPSC 634 Intelligent User Interfaces

Assignment 1: Write one page about a computer system, application, or interface you have used that could use an "intelligent user interface". Describe what was wrong with the current system and how the IUI might have helped

Assignment 2: Pick a (non-trivial) statement by Simon that you agree with and write 1/2 a page about why you agree or find it insightful. Pick a statement you disagree with and write 1/2 a page about why you disagree and what other view/interpretation you prefer.

Assignment 3: Pick a (non-trivial) statement by Suchman that you agree with and write 1/2 a page about why you agree or find it insightful. Pick a statement you disagree with and write 1/2 a page about why you disagree and what other view/interpretation you prefer.

Topic Selection: Landscape Design
Identify a type of technology to investigate and begin thinking about tasks and (possibly hypothetical) set of users that you will support with your intelligent user interface.

Task Analysis
Determine what is difficult (and easy) about the current task and how it can be supported

Initial Design Phase
Specify system design goals and create an initial conceptual design

Prototype Implementation
Create a working prototype of your intelligent user interface

Final Report and Presentation
Write a report describing the users, their tasks, your technological solution to supporting them (including design and prototype implementation), and how the system is expected to be used. Also include an empirical or observational study of how you would evaluate your system's success in meeting its goals of supporting users.
