Abstract

Welcome to Brisbane and the 11th Australasian User Interface Conference, the forum for user interface researchers and practitioners at the Australasian Computer Science Week 2010. AUIC provides an opportunity for user interface researchers to meet with colleagues and with other computer scientists, and aims to strengthen the community of researchers in Australasia.

The papers presented in these proceedings have been rigorously reviewed. Each paper received at least three reviews. Out of 21 submitted papers, 10 papers were selected for presentation and publication. The breadth and quality of the papers reflects the dynamic and innovative Australasian research environment.

Revisiting the human as an information processor
pp 2

In their seminal 1983 book 'The Psychology of Human-Computer Interaction', Card, Newell and Moran (ACM Fellows and Turing Award winners) introduced 'the model human information-processor'. This model equipped interface designers with strong theoretical ...

The effect of user interface delay in thin client mobile games
pp 5–13

Thin-client computing may be a solution to such problems as providing sophisticated applications on devices with low computational power, or providing reasonable access to digital artifacts whose distribution the copyright owner still wishes to protect. ...

A comparative evaluation of annotation software for grading programming assignments
pp 14–22

Commenting on a student's computer program with red pen ink annotations is not possible with current software and paper program 'listings' are a relic of a bygone era. Yet ink annotations are the easiest way to provide rich feedback to the student. We ...

Presenting query aspects to support exploratory search
pp 23–32

Successful information search requires a joint effort from both syntactic matching provided by current search engines and semantic matching performed by human users. Word-based syntactic matching schemes work well for tasks such as homepage finding or ...

Usability of navigation tools for browsing genetic sequences
pp 33–41

Software to display DNA sequences is a crucial tool for bioinformatics research. This study examined techniques for navigating large DNA sequences via panning and zooming. This involved surveying the navigation facilities of current bioinformatics ...

Visualisation tools for exploring the uncertainty-risk relationship in the decision-making process: a preliminary empirical evaluation
pp 42–51

Models play an important part in the decision-making process. However, due to uncertainty in a model's input variables, making decisions involves a degree of risk. We have developed two visualization prototypes for exploring the influence of uncertainty ...

iAnnotate: exploring multi-user ink annotation in web browsers
pp 52–60

We present iAnnotate, a tool that provides multi-user digital ink annotation on standard web pages within a commercial browser. The annotation can be saved, retrieved and shared with others via a URL. In addition multiple users' annotations can be ...

Life-sketch: a framework for sketch-based modelling and animation of 3D objects
pp 61–70

The design and animation of digital 3D models is an essential task for many applications in science, engineering, education, medicine and arts. In many instances only an approximate representation is required and a simple and intuitive modelling and ...

Graph drawing aesthetics in user-sketched graph layouts
pp 80–88

Empirical work on appropriate layout aesthetics for graph drawing algorithms has concentrated on the interpretation of existing graph drawings. A more recent experiment has considered layout aesthetics from the point of view of users moving nodes in an ...
