內容描述

Description:

Multiple User Interfaces allow people using
mobile phones, lap tops, desk tops, palm tops or PDAs to access and read
information from their central server or the internet in a coherent and
consistent way and to communicate effectively with other users who may be
using different devices. MUIs provide multiple views of the information
according to the device used and co-ordinate communication between the users.

Multiple User Interfaces: Engineering
and Applications Frameworks is the first work to describe user interface
design for mobile and hand-held devices such as mobile phones. Given the
proliferation of books on web site design in the late '90s, this promises to
be the forerunner in a new wave of books dealing with the issues specific to
small screens, limited memory and wireless transmission. It also deals
with problems relating to multi-user functionality and sharing the same
application over various platforms. 

Offers a comprehensive account of
state-of-the-art research
Combines human and technical aspects including
social interaction, workflow, HCI, & system architectures.
Provides practical toolkits, guidelines and
experience reports
Includes contributions from leading
experts at all the key institutions – Virginia Tech, Concordia
University, Lancaster University, Ericsson & Intel 

With such a unique and cutting-edge approach
researchers and developers working on user interface design in companies
manufacturing handsets and other portable devices, university HCI groups and
companies providing web-based information services for delivery to hand-held
devices will find this indispensable.
