商品描述

This book presents readers with an exploration of the concept of Conceptual Models and argues that they are core to achieving good design of interactive applications that are easy, effective, and enjoyable to use. The authors' years of experience helping companies create interactive software applications revealed that interactive applications built without Conceptual Models generally result in fraught production processes and designs that are confusing and difficult to learn, remember, and use. Instead, the book shows that Conceptual Models can be a central link between the elements involved in the use of interactive applications: people's tasks (domains), their plans for performing those tasks, the use of applications in the plans, the conceptual structure of applications, the presentation of the conceptual model (i.e., the user interface), the terms used to describe it, its implementation, and the learning that people must do to use the application. Readers will learn how putting a Conceptual Model at the core of the design and development process can pay rich dividends: designs are simpler, more coherent, and better aligned with users' tasks; unnecessary features are avoided; documentation is easier, development is faster and cheaper; customer uptake is improved; and the need for training and customer support is reduced.
To support its use in instruction, this second edition has been revised to explain the history and theoretical context of conceptual modeling using a consistent vocabulary, describe the structure of conceptual models, provide more current and more complete examples, explain how conceptual models fit into design and development, and further summarize the benefits of conceptual modeling.

In addition, this book:

  • Teaches users how to implement conceptual modelling in their interaction design workflow
  • Offers UX designers useful tools and practices starting from application concepts and task-flow design
  • Provides theory as well as practical experience of real-world interface design


商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書向讀者探討概念模型（Conceptual Models）的概念，並主張它們是實現易於使用、有效且愉悅的互動應用程式良好設計的核心。作者多年來幫助公司創建互動軟體應用程式的經驗顯示，沒有概念模型的互動應用程式通常會導致生產過程困難，設計混亂且難以學習、記憶和使用。相反，本書顯示概念模型可以成為使用互動應用程式中涉及元素之間的核心連結：人們的任務（領域）、他們執行這些任務的計劃、在計劃中使用應用程式、應用程式的概念結構、概念模型的呈現（即用戶介面）、描述它的術語、其實現，以及人們為使用應用程式所需的學習。讀者將學習如何將概念模型置於設計和開發過程的核心，從而獲得豐厚的回報：設計更簡單、更一致，與用戶的任務更好地對齊；避免不必要的功能；文檔更易於編寫，開發更快速且成本更低；客戶接受度提高；以及對培訓和客戶支持的需求減少。

為了支持其在教學中的使用，本書第二版已進行修訂，以解釋概念建模的歷史和理論背景，使用一致的詞彙描述概念模型的結構，提供更當前和更完整的範例，解釋概念模型如何融入設計和開發，並進一步總結概念建模的好處。

此外，本書：
- 教導用戶如何在其互動設計工作流程中實施概念建模
- 為UX設計師提供從應用概念和任務流程設計開始的有用工具和實踐
- 提供理論以及真實世界介面設計的實踐經驗

作者簡介

Jeff Johnson is President and Principal Consultant at Wiser Usability, a consulting firm specializing in elder usability and accessibility. He has worked in the field of Human-Computer Interaction since 1978. After earning B.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Yale and Stanford Universities, he worked as a user-interface designer and implementer, engineer manager, usability tester, and researcher at Cromemco, Xerox, US West, Hewlett-Packard Labs, and Sun Microsystems. He has taught at Stanford University and Mills College, and in 2006 was an Erskine Teaching Fellow at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch New Zealand. He has published numerous articles and book chapters on a variety of topics in Human-Computer Interaction and the impact of technology on society. He frequently gives talks and tutorials at conferences and companies on usability and user-interface design. His previous books are: GUI Bloopers: Donâ (TM)ts and Dos for Software Developers and Web Designers (2000), Web Bloopers: 60 Common Design Mistakes and How to Avoid Them (2003), GUI Bloopers 2.0: Common User Interface Design Donâ (TM)ts and Dos(2007), and Designing with the Mind in Mind: Simple Guide to Understanding User Interface Design Rules(2010).
Austin Henderson's 45-year career in Human-Computer Interaction includes user interface research and architecture at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory, Bolt Beranek and Newman, Xerox Research (both PARC and EuroPARC), Apple Computer, and Pitney Bowes, as well as strategic industrial design with Fitch and his own Rivendel Consulting & Design. Austin has built both commercial and research applications in many domains including manufacturing, programming languages, air traffic control, electronic mail (Hermes), user interface design tools (Trillium), workspace management (Rooms, Buttons), distributed collaboration (MediaSpace), and user-evolvable systems (Tailorable - ""design continued in use,"" Pliant - ""designing for the unanticipated"" and ""scalable conversations""). These applications, and their development with users, have grounded his analytical work, which has included the nature of computation-based socio-technical systems, the interaction of people with the technology in those systems, and the practices and tools of their development. The primary goal of his work has been to better meet user needs, both by improving system development to better anticipate those needs, and by broadening system capability to enable users themselves to better respond to unanticipated needs when they arise in a rich and changing world.
