Arnowitz, Jonathan, Heidelberg, Monica, Gray, Diana, Arent, Michael and Dorsch, Naomi (2005): The stakeholder forest: designing an expenses application for the enterprise. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2005 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems 2005. pp. 941-956. Available online

“This paper discusses the redesign of PeopleSoft's Enterprise Expenses product from a product that was notorious for it's complexity into a product that was both usable and one of PeopleSoft's best selling products. The process used was a combination of best practices from user-centered design, business and marketing to deliver a usable application on a pure-html "no-code on the client" platform. The design effort was also a collaboration of design, usability engineers, business strategy, functional analysts and developers (and of course our customers!) At the same time, the process needed to track the competing interests of various stakeholders: clients, their end users, their business processes, our technical requirements, our limited resources and our internal stakeholders. The designed solution had to work within a framework that could not be re-written. A poorly working metaphor was redefined into a concept that would work better with the end-users.”

Arnowitz, Jonathan, Fijma, Duco and Verlinden, Jouke (2000): Communicating a Task Analysis with Task Layer Maps. In: Proceedings of DIS00: Designing Interactive Systems: Processes, Practices, Methods, & Techniques 2000. pp. 346-353. Available online

“Modern user interface design methods, regardless of their extremely diverse viewpoints, all seem to agree that a document outlining a task analysis is essential for good user interface design. However, most representations of task analysis are difficult to understand. This difficulty makes the transition to dialogue design difficult, especially for multidisciplinary design teams with few shared skills and terminology. Using techniques borrowed from the study of parallel processing, the authors have developed a technique of task analysis representation called Task Layer Maps. Task Layer Maps are both quick and easy to understand. This technique helps design teams to quickly come up with a dialogue design and also allows checking that design for conformance with the task analysis.”

Arnowitz, Jonathan, Priester, Ruurd, Willems, Eric and Faber, Laura (1997): Mahler, Mondriaan, and Bauhaus: Using Artistic Ideas to Improve Application Usability. In: Proceedings of DIS97: Designing Interactive Systems: Processes, Practices, Methods, & Techniques 1997. pp. 13-21. Available online

“This paper addresses a strategy designed to handle the increasing and broadening interactivity demands in software. This paper specifically looks into using other interdisciplinary areas of art and music as an inspiration material for creating new forms of user/computer communications. The projects looked at are a project for the Dutch Social Security System, a work-flow driven administrative application and ending with an in-depth look at the Uniface 7 4GL interface which uses the Bauhaus as the jumping point for creating a new image-language.”
