TLDR
An overview is given of user-interface development systems (UIDS).
Abstract
An overview is given of user-interface development systems (UIDS). Systems are classified by how they let the programmer specify the interfaces, and examples of each type are given. The three types are language-based, graphical, and automatic creation interfaces. Shortcomings of UIDS and user-interface toolkits are discussed. >

The use of eye movements in human-computer interaction techniques: what you look at is what you get

TL;DR: In this paper, the usefulness of eye movements as a fast and convenient auxiliary user-to-computer communication mode was investigated, and the first eye movement-based interaction techniques were devised and implemented in a laboratory.

What you look at is what you get: eye movement-based interaction techniques

TL;DR: Some of the human factors and technical considerations that arise in trying to use eye movements as an input medium are discussed and the first eye movement-based interaction techniques that are devised and implemented in the laboratory are described.

SAAM: a method for analyzing the properties of software architectures

TL;DR: A five-step method for analyzing software architectures called SAAM (Software Architecture Analysis Method) is proposed and illustrated by analyzing three separate user interface architectures with respect to the quality of modifiability.

Direct Manipulation: A Step Beyond Programming Languages

TL;DR: As I talked with enthusiasts and examined the systems they used, I began to develop a model of the features that produced such delight, and the central ideas seemed to be visibility of the object of interest; rapid, reversible, incremental actions; and replacement of complex command language syntax by direct manipulation of the objects of interest.

A study in two-handed input

TL;DR: The results show that the speed of performing the task was strongly correlated to the degree of parallelism employed, and the benefits of the two-handed technique are interpreted as being due to efficiency of hand motion.

On the inevitable intertwining of specification and implementation

TL;DR: Two arguments that specification should be completed before implementation begins are presented and how they arise in the specification of a controller for a package router are illustrated.
