The British HCI Group & ScotlandIS Usability Forum
==================================================
One-day Symposium: Usability and UML
Friday 18th January 2002
St. Trinnean's Room, St. Leonard¹s Hall,
Pollock Halls, Edinburgh EH16 5AY (www.EdinburghFirst.com)
The Universal Modelling Language (UML) underpins current
object-oriented system design methodologies, but has not yet been
widely used in user-centred design. This meeting will explore the
background to UML and its relationship to usability and interactive
systems design, and will present the work of pioneers who have
adapted or extended UML to provide effective support for user-centred
design methodologies. Innovative UML support tools will also be
presented which assist designers in more effective application of
existing UML modelling conventions in the user-centred design process.
As well as insight into the background and provenance of UML,
delegates will learn how to apply and adapt UML in their own work to
design and develop usable systems. UML offers the potential for
integrating current software engineering practice with HCI design,
giving usability equal status with correctness, robustness and
efficiency in the software engineering goal set. Speakers with a wide
range of experience in HCI and object-oriented design will present
significant contributions towards this synthesis.
Speakers include:
Gerd Szwillus, University of Paderborn
Birgit Bomsdorf, FernUniversität Hagen
Philippe Palanque, Université Toulouse 3
Dave Roberts, IBM Ease of Use Group, Warwick
Rob Procter, University of Edinburgh
Dave Martin & Mark Rouncefield, Lancaster University
Perdita Stevens, University of Edinburgh
Peter Johnson, University of Bath
Lachlan Mackinnon & Pauline Wilcox, Heriot-Watt University
