Item Open Access A Bibliography to Human-Computer Interaction: Concepts, Methods and Problems(2012-07-11T20:59:08Z) Hill, DavidNote: This is a preliminary report -- an expanded version is in preparation.Item Open Access Designing for Human-Computer Interaction: some rules and their derivation(2012-07-11T20:39:44Z) Hill, DavidThere has been an explosion of interest in the human computer interface. For a variety of reasons, mainly economic, companies are searching for better ways for people to interact with information processing systems. One problem has been a lack of awareness amongst those most likely to benefit from careful interface design, and innovative interfaces, of the real issues and benefits. Even computer experts can reap rewards from improvements in the human computer interface (“programming environments”). Programmers are computer users as well. After considering the design process, in the context of human computer interaction, the paper goes on to spell out major principles for the Interface designers, providing a detailed statement of what is involved in applying the principles, and how these arise on the basis of our knowledge of people and machines. The last section provides an informal discussion of some of the issues and steps involved in designing human-computer interfaces.Item Open Access Dialogue design notes(2012-07-11T20:53:34Z) Hill, DavidThis document presents an informal discussion of some of the issues and steps in dialogue design. It is intended to be read in conjunction with Designing for human-computer Interaction: some rules and their derivation (D.R. Hill 1984) and A bibliography on human-computer Interaction.Item Metadata only EDICT: AN ENVIRONMENT FOR DESIGN USING INTEGRATED CIRCUIT TOOLS(1984-06-01) Birtwistle, Graham; Hill, David; Kendall, John; Coates, Bill; Esau, Richard; Kroeker, Wallace; Liblong, Breen; Liu, Erwin; Melham, Tom; Schediwy, RickWe shall conduct research into the design, construction, and applications of a VLSI design environment called EDICT which controls complexity by imposing an iterative structured design methodology, using hierarchies, regularity, and reusable building blocks, and incorporates the different design rules and fabrication processes of most foundries.Item Metadata only JADE: a simulation & software prototyping environment(1983-11-01) Unger, Brian W; Birtwistle, Graham; Cleary, John; Hill, David; Lomow, Greg; Neal, Radford; Peterson, Murray; Witten, Ian; Wyvill, BrianJade provides an integrated set of tools which are designed to support the development of distributed software and systems. The Jade environment provides tools for the design, implementation, debugging, testing, maintenance, and performance analysis of distributed, concurrent programs. Novel features of Jade are that it is based on the modelling and simulation of target distributed systems and partially automatic program generation is supported. The goals of Jade are to provide a cost effective software development environment that is both easy and comfortable to use, and which can produce more reliable, maintainable programs. This paper presents an overview of the Jade environment, describes its major components, and outlines the status of the project.Item Open Access The impact of past waste management practices on future tourist development: Turner Valley gas plant, a case study(1992) Hill, David; Revel, Richard D.
