The Technical Committee Human Factors (TC HF) of the European Telecommunication Standards Institute (ETSI, www.etsi.org) has initiated the development of guidelines for the design of setup procedures, applicable to mobile terminals and e-services.This work is performed under the policy framework defined by the e-Europe 2005 action plan, by and in close collaboration between major industry players and ETSI.The goal of this activity is the development of design guidelines for user interface and service developers based on specific use cases which help to understand the difficulties users are experiencing when configuring their devices or accessing the services.The result of this work will be presented at the conference and the resulting ETSI Guide will be available free of charge.

The present workshop addresses ongoing standardization issues for user education and setup procedures, enabling and improving the startup and use of mobile e-services.

Prototyping, a method and technique frequently used in many engineering disciplines, has been adopted as a technique in software engineering to improve the calculation of new projects involving risks. However, there has so far been a lack of documented experience with the use of prototyping in industrial software production. The paper tries to close this gap. First, we introduce central prototyping concepts and terminology. We also present five industrial software projects in which explicit use was made of prototyping. Based on our analysis of these projects we present the resulting conclusions: prototyping means more than rapidly developing user interfaces; prototyping is a central part of a development strategy; prototyping means end user involvement; finding the right mixture of prototypes improves the development process.>

Abstract In this paper a brief review of user interface management systems (UIMSs) and their advantages is given. Shortcomings of current UIMSs and open requirements imposed by industrial application areas are outlined. Among the most important requirements are uniform design mechanisms independent of interaction media, techniques, and styles as well as a straight forward end‐user adaptability of user interfaces. A new approach to interactive interface construction, called “direct composition”, is introduced. In this approach all interface objects contain the means for their own modification and design and therefore offer consistent interaction techniques for both the construction and usage of user interfaces. Moreover, end‐user adaptability is an inherent feature of direct composition interfaces. The user interface design environment SX/Tools is described to exemplify specific properties of user interface management systems following the principle of direct composition. The impacts of direct composition on user interface design include a uniform interface development process covering tool development, interface development, and “on‐usage” interface adaptation. It is argued that the direct composition approach can overcome many of the problems with traditional UIMSs.
