L'atelier PRESCOT "Interaction dégradée", propose sa première conférence invitée :

Title :

Extending direct-manipulation interfaces

Abstract :

This talk reports ongoing research in extending direct-manipulation interfaces by incorporating, via the direct-manipulation modality itself, interaction techniques that add kinds of language features associated with spoken conversation. We propose means of implementing ways for a user of a direct-manipulation system to define new kinds of relations among objects in the interface. For example, how could an author indicate to a word processor that he or wished to select the first sentence of every paragraph of the document? The paper's relation-defining schema can be viewed as a kind of Beaudoin-Lafon interaction instrument that uses direct manipulation to produce meta-commands in the interface. The approach is entirely consistent with Shneiderman's principles of direct manipulation.

About the speaker: : David G. Novick earned his J.D. at Harvard University in 1977 and his Ph.D. in Computer and Information Science at the University of Oregon in 1988. He is professor and chair of Computer Science at the University of Texas at El Paso. Previously, he was on the faculty of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Oregon Graduate Institute and then Director of Research at the European Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Engineering. His research focuses on interactive systems, and especially development methods for interfaces and their documentation. Related interests include include technologically mediated communication and computational models of dialogue. He served as General Co-chair, ACM Conference on Universal Usability, Washington, D.C., November 16-17, 2000, and organized ACM SIGCHI's series of events in Natural Language Interfaces.
