Web automation scripts (tasklets) are used by personal AI assistants to carry out human tasks such as reserving a car or buying movie tickets. Generating tasklets today is a tedious job which requires much manual effort. We propose Glider, an automated ...

To address diverse interaction needs of heterogeneous users' groups, user interfaces must be flexible to accommodate for customization that are specific to each user profile. Although, existing web interfaces provide some flexibility, some problems still ...

Many web pages developed today require navigation by visual interaction-seeing, hovering, pointing, clicking, and dragging with the mouse over dynamic page content. These forms of interaction are increasingly popular as developer trends have moved from ...

People with low vision experience accessibility barriers when they interact with the web. This paper explores the navigation strategies of low vision users in order to select the appropriate accessibility techniques to design web interfaces for them. ...

This case study presents work underway at the University of North Texas (UNT) Libraries to design and implement interfaces and tools for analyzing metadata quality in their local metadata editing environment. It discusses the rationale for including ...

The availability of consumer-level devices for both visualising and interacting with Virtual Reality (VR) environments opens the opportunity to introduce more immersive contents and experiences, even on the web. For reaching a wider audience, developing ...

This paper describes a distributed user interface which enables people to use Things, intended as network enabled software or hardware resources, from multiple web-based GUIs. The demo will show a use case where lecturers can connect their smart phone ...

Despite the increasing use of Augmented Reality (AR) in many different application areas, implementation support is limited and still driven by development at source-code level. Although efforts have been made to overcome these limitations, there is a ...

With the rise of science gateway use in recent years, we anticipate there are additional opportunities for growth, but the field is currently fragmented. We describe our efforts to measure the extent and characteristics of the gateway community through ...

Efficiency of visualization interfaces in terms of their users' decisions speed and accuracy in safety-critical areas is extremely important as late or wrong reaction on displayed information may cause at least financial losses (not to mention the ...

The massive use of internet provides information access all over the world. It represents a potential benefit for everyone, but also brings disadvantages when it comes to deliver the information in an effective manner. Intercultural aspects have to be ...

Entity reconciliation---linking names or terms to identifiers in external datasets---is a popular method of adding standardized structured data to loosely structured documents. Most approaches to entity reconciliation rely on remote web services, ...

The users of Ambient Intelligence systems expect an intelligent behavior from their environment, receiving adapted and easily accessible services and functionality. This can only be possible if the communication between the user and the system is ...

Web forms are the interfaces of the deep web. Though modern web browsers provide facilities to assist in form filling, this assistance is limited to prior form fillings or keyword matching. Automatic form understanding enables a broad range of ...

Forms are our gates to the web. They enable us to access the deep content of web sites. Automatic form understanding unlocks this content for applications ranging from crawlers to meta-search engines and is essential for improving usability and ...

Maximizing accessibility is not always the main objective in the design of web applications, specially if it is concerned with facilitating access for disabled people. In this paper we present the VoiceApp multimodal dialog system, which enables to ...

With the advent of Web 2.0 and the emergence of improved technologies to enhance UI, the importance of user experience and intuitiveness of Web interfaces led to the growth and success of Interaction Design. Web designers often turn to pre-defined and ...

New media interfaces offer a wide variety of modalities for interacting with systems. While typing and clicking remain the staple of most interfaces, several other modalities have emerged in recent years, enabling users to perform a range of other ...

The database course needs to continue evolving to reflect changes in the computing environment and changes in current thought about how best to engage the student. We propose one possible evolution that is based on a semester-long multimedia database ...

We present DialogXML – a markup language approach to specifying and realising mixed-initiative web dialogs on mobile devices. By capturing the functional structure of the dialog independent of the modalities used to realise it, DialogXML ...
