A Contextual Model for Identity Management (IdM) Interfaces
Direct linkDirect link
Fuller, Nathaniel J. – ProQuest LLC, 2014
The usability of Identity Management (IdM) systems is highly dependent upon design that simplifies the processes of identification, authentication, and authorization. Recent findings reveal two critical problems that degrade IdM usability: (1) unfeasible techniques for managing various digital identifiers, and (2) ambiguous security interfaces.…

Developing a User-process Model for Designing Menu-based Interfaces: An Exploratory Study.
Ju, Boryung; Gluck, Myke – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2003
The purpose of this study was to organize menu items based on a user-process model and implement a new version of current software for enhancing usability of interfaces. A user-process model was developed, drawn from actual users' understanding of their goals and strategies to solve their information needs by using Dervin's Sense-Making Theory…

Schloss, Gerhard A.; Wynblatt, Michael J. – 1994
As new users from the non-technical community are attracted to multimedia (MM) computing, it becomes necessary to design a convenient and easy-to-understand logical structure that facilitates data transfer from the MM data repository to MM applications. A recently introduced layered formalism, which describes MM applications in terms of the data…
