There are many proposals regarding the design model which are related to such notions as function, behavior, and structure. They have created some confusion about and debates on which one should be the most appropriate one. Naturally, a question one may ask is whether they are actually the same thing but with different names or whether they have different scopes of applications for different design problems. In this paper, we evaluate these proposals and attempt to clean up the confusion and comment on the debates. As a result, we are able to conclude a unified and general one and to show how it can be shaped into specific ones, proposed by others in literature, which are applicable to specific design problems.
There have been many debates on how to design the human-computer interface (HCI). Often, one can find that different views in a debate are simply because these views are attached to different aspects which embody the same thing. In other words, prior to giving an effective judgment of a debate, one needs to establish an understanding of the 'total' aspects of a thing the debate is about. Following this line of thinking, in this paper, we propose an understanding of the 'total' aspects of designing HCI, which is called the total interface design framework. We then judge several debates under this framework with the purpose of exemplifying the judgment process for any other debate related to designing HCI. At the end, the debates used for exemplifying our judgment process can be resolved. The effectiveness of the total interface design framework for integrating the different HCI approaches is also demonstrated. q
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
