Multiple User Interfaces allow people using mobile phones, lap
tops, desk tops, palm tops or PDAs to access and read information
from their central server or the internet in a coherent and
consistent way and to communicate effectively with other users who
may be using different devices. MUIs provide multiple views of the
information according to the device used and co-ordinate
communication between the users.
Multiple User Interfaces: Engineering and Applications
Frameworks is the first work to describe user interface design
for mobile and hand-held devices such as mobile phones. Given the
proliferation of books on web site design in the late ’90s, this
promises to be the forerunner in a new wave of books dealing with
the issues specific to small screens, limited memory and wireless
transmission. It also deals with problems relating to
multi-user functionality and sharing the same application over
various platforms.
* Offers a comprehensive account of state-of-the-art
research
* Combines human and technical aspects including social
interaction, workflow, HCI, & system architectures.
* Provides practical toolkits, guidelines and experience
reports
* Includes contributions from leading experts at all
the key institutions – Virginia Tech, Concordia
University, Lancaster University, Ericsson &
Intel
With such a unique and cutting-edge approach researchers and
developers working on user interface design in companies
manufacturing handsets and other portable devices, university HCI
groups and companies providing web-based information services for
delivery to hand-held devices will find this indispensable.

लेखक के बारे में
Ahmed Seffah is a professor in the department of Computer
Science at Concordia University. He is director of the
Human-Centered Software Engineering Group and the co-founder of the
Concordia Software Usability and Empirical Studies Lab. He holds a
Ph D in software engineering from the Ecole Centrale de Lyon
(France). His research interest are at the crossroads between
software engineering and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI),
including usability measurement, user interface design, empirical
studies on developer experiences with CASE tools, human-centered
software engineering, and patterns as a vehicle for integrating HCI
knowledge in software engineering practices. Dr. Seffah is
the vice-chair of the IFIP working group on user-centered
design methodologies. During the last 10 years, he has been
involved in different projects in North America and Europe.
Homa Javahery is a researcher and project manager with
the Human-Centered Software Engineering Group, including the
Usability and Empirical Studies Lab, in the department of Computer
Science at Concordia University. She holds a Master’s degree in
Computer Science from Concordia University, and a Bachelor of
Science degree from Mc Gill University. She is combining
different design approaches from human sconces and engineering
disciplines to develop a pattern-oriented framework for designing a
large variety of interfaces. She has been involved in different
collaborative projects at the INRIA Research Institute in Nancy,
France and the Daimler-Chrysler Research Institute in Ulm,
Germany.
