If you are interested in understanding how the systematic use of task
models in the design, development, and usability evaluation of
interactive software applications can open new opportunities and
possibilities then this book will help you do just that. Fabio Paternò
also discusses related issues relevant to designing user interfaces and
provides a state-of-the-art review of the field, including recently
developed methods, current results and problems and trends. Details of
the notation and analysis discussed, including case studies of
industrial interest, are available for those who want to use them for
applied projects and in industrial contexts. While the book is designed
to suit a range of academic and industrial courses on task models and
methods for user interface design and evaluation, it will also be useful
as supplementary reading for any course on human-computer interaction
and software engineering.
