Kiss, George and Pinder, Roy (1986): The Use of Complexity Theory in Evaluating Interfaces. In: Harrison, Michael D. and Monk, Andrew (eds.) Proceedings of the Second Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers II August 23-26, 1986, University of York, UK. pp. 447-463.

“The paper argues the case for using the techniques of computational complexity theory in the evaluation of user interfaces. Taking a task-oriented attitude, we interpret user effort as the computational work done by the user in terms of interface operations in carrying out tasks. Computational work is in turn identified with the size complexity of the algorithm through which the task is accomplished at the interface. We show how design decisions about primitives and tools determine the complexity of algorithms available to the user to carry out tasks. An illustration of the approach is given for direct manipulation graphics interfaces. The discussion indicates how the approach gives a reasonable interpretation to concepts like ease of use and tradeoff decisions.”
