Maguire, M., Dillon, Andrew, Brooke, John, Gerven, Johan van, Bevan, Nigel, Paci, Anna Maria, Karat, John and Shackel, Brian (1993): Usability Measurement -- Its Practical Value to the Computer Industry. In: Ashlund, Stacey, Mullet, Kevin, Henderson, Austin, Hollnagel, Erik and White, Ted (eds.) Proceedings of the ACM CHI 93 Human Factors in Computing Systems Conference April 24-29, 1993, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. pp. 145-148. Available online

“This panel will consider the role of usability measurement in the design process. It will address the time needed to perform usability evaluations and compare this process with that of expert assessment. This topic will be discussed in the industrial context of developing computer products within strict timescales. However it will also be seen against the traditional problem of needing to set usability goals and to measure their achievement if usability is to be given the same priority as the more technical software engineering objectives.”

Brooke, John (1991): Usability, Change, Adaptable Systems and Community Computing. In: Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 1991. pp. 1093-1097.

“Usability and utility of systems can only be defined and discussed in operational terms, and that in turn means that they cannot be discussed without reference to the context in which the system is used. Systems need to be appropriate to the conjunction of user, task and environment. However this context is not stable, and thus what is appropriate changes all the time. This paper discusses the implications of this for the types of information systems we need to build. The advantages and disadvantages of adaptive and adaptable systems are discussed; it is argued that adaptive systems cannot realistically be built, but that there are inherent difficulties with adaptable systems as well. The DB_Builder project is described, which addresses some of the problems of adaptable systems by placing users in a context of "community computing".”

Brooke, John, Bevan, Nigel, Brigham, Fred, Harker, Susan and Youmans, David (1990): Usability Statements and Standardisation -- Work in Progress in ISO. In: Diaper, Dan, Gilmore, David J., Cockton, Gilbert and Shackel, Brian (eds.) INTERACT 90 - 3rd IFIP International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction August 27-31, 1990, Cambridge, UK. pp. 357-361.

“This paper describes work in progress in Working Group 5 of the International Organisation for Standardisation Technical committee 159 subcommittee 4 (ISO TC159/SC4/WG5). While many standards are concentrating on what guidelines can be given regarding the design of user interfaces and dialogues, subgroup 2 of TC159/SC4/WG5 is taking a holistic approach to the issue of the usability of products. A standard is being developed which will specify how producers and consumers of products may communicate with each other about the usability of products.”
