Working Group 2.7(13.4): User Interface Engineering
Focus of the combined Working Group 2.7(13.4) is on understanding the process behind developing user interfaces for software systems.
In 1992 IFIP decided a new arrangement allowing working groups to be associated with more than one Technical Committee. In 1993 TC.13 received a formal request from WG2.7 for this direct link. WG 2.7(13.4) was established as the first WG under this new arrangement to be affiliated also to another TC. Recent WG2.7(13.4) activities have included especially the book Design Principles for Interactive Systems developed collectively by the WG and published in 1996.
Aims
The principal aim of WG2.7(13.4) is to investigate the nature, concepts and construction of user interfaces for software systems.
Scope
The scope of the work includes increasing the understanding of the development of user interfaces, providing a framework for reasoning about interactive systems, and providing an engineering model for the development of user interfaces.
