Towards a Framework to the Design of Tailorable User Interfaces

Presenter: Vania Paula de Almeida Neris, PhD. student from University of Campinas‚ Brazil
Vania got her Computer Engineering degree in 2002 from the Federal University of Carlos in Brazil and her Master degree in Computer Science, in 2005, from the same University. Now, in her PhD. course, she is researching how to design tailorable user interfaces based on Semiotics methods and Participatory Design.
Title: Towards a Framework to the Design of Tailorable User Interfaces
Abstract: In this Seminar, Vania will talk about her work to formalize a framework to support the design of tailorable interfaces considering different interaction requirements from users with different skills, under the principles of Design for All. Two study cases are being developed in which PAM and SAM were applied to clarify the problem, model the organizational context and elicit users and system requirements with direct participation of those involved.
