Prototyping is one of the core activities of User-Centered Design (UCD) processes and an integral component of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research. For many years, prototyping was synonym of paper-based mockups and only more recently we can say that dedicated tools for supporting prototyping activities really reach the market. In this paper, we propose to analyze the evolution of prototyping tools for supporting the development process of interactive systems. For that, this paper presents a review of the literature. We analyze the tools proposed by academic community as a proof of concepts and/or support to research activities. Moreover, we also analyze prototyping tools that are available in the market. We report our observation in terms of features that appear over time and constitute milestones for understating the evolution of concerns related to the development and use of prototyping tools. This survey covers publications published since 1988 in some of the main HCI conferences and 118 commercial tools available on the web. The results enable a brief comparison of characteristics present in both academic and commercial tools, how they have evolved, and what are the gaps that can provide insights for future research and development.

For instruments with many occasional users, it is important to have easy to use software. To support the frequent users it is important to be flexible. Using a scripting language to design a GUI and exposing it to the user allows us to do both. We present our work on a GUI for reflectometry data analysis and reduction written in Tcl/Tk and Octave, with underlying C code for the numerically intensive portions. As well as being easier to train new users, the new software allows existing users to do in minutes what used to take hours.
Visualization recommendation (VisRec) systems provide users with suggestions for potentially interesting and useful next steps during exploratory data analysis. These recommendations are typically organized into categories based on their analytical actions, i.e., operations employed to transition from the current exploration state to a recommended visualization. However, despite the emergence of a plethora of VisRec systems in recent work, the utility of the categories employed by these systems in analytical workflows has not been systematically investigated. Our paper explores the efficacy of recommendation categories by formalizing a taxonomy of common categories and developing a system, Frontier, that implements these categories. Using Frontier, we evaluate workflow strategies adopted by users and how categories influence those strategies. Participants found recommendations that add attributes to enhance the current visualization and recommendations that filter to sub-populations to be comparatively most useful during data exploration. Our findings pave the way for next-generation VisRec systems that are adaptive and personalized via carefully chosen, effective recommendation categories.
Users may face challenges while designing graphical user interfaces, due to a lack of relevant experience and guidance. This paper aims to investigate the issues that users with no experience face during the design process, and how to resolve them. To this end, we conducted semi-structured interviews, based on which we built a GUI prototyping assistance tool called GUIComp. This tool can be connected to GUI design software as an extension, and it provides real-time, multi-faceted feedback on a users current design. Additionally, we conducted two user studies, in which we asked participants to create mobile GUIs with or without GUIComp, and requested online workers to assess the created GUIs. The experimental results show that GUIComp facilitated iterative design and the participants with GUIComp had better a user experience and produced more acceptable designs than those who did not.
It is necessary to improve the concepts of the present web based graphical user interface for the development of more flexible and intelligent interface to provide ease and increase the level of comfort at user end like most of the desktop based applications. This research is conducted targeting the goal of implementing flexible GUI consisting of a visual component manager with different components by functionality, design and purpose. In this research paper we present a Rich Internet Application (RIA) based graphical user interface for web based product development, and going into the details we present a comparison between existing RIA Technologies, adopted methodology in the GUI development and developed prototype.
In this paper we report the results of a pilot study comparing the older and younger adults interaction with an Android TV application which enables users to detect errors in video subtitles. Overall, the interaction with the TV-mediated crowdsourcing system relying on language profficiency was seen as intuitive, fun and accessible, but also cognitively demanding; more so for younger adults who focused on the task of detecting errors, than for older adults who concentrated more on the meaning and edutainment aspect of the videos. We also discuss participants motivations and preliminary recommendations for the design of TV-enabled crowdsourcing tasks and subtitle QA systems.
