Interactive Systems. Design, Specification, and Verification

The first books that addressed this issue in a complete and thorough manner were the collection of contributions edited by Harrison and Thimbleby and the book written by Alan Dix, which focused on abstractions useful to highlight important concepts in the design of interactive systems. This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Design, Specification and Verification of Interactive Systems, DSV-IS 2000, held in Limerick, Ireland in June 2000. The 14 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 30 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on designing interactive distributed systems, designing user interfaces, tools for user interfaces, formal methods for human-computer interaction, and model-based design of interactive systems.
