Springett, M. V. and Grant, Simon (1993): Interface Semantics and Users' Device Models: Identifying Evaluation Issues for Direct Manipulation Design. In: Alty, James L., Diaper, Dan and Guest, D. (eds.) Proceedings of the Eighth Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers VIII August 7-10, 1993, Loughborough University, UK. pp. 249-265.

“This paper proposes that evaluation of direct manipulation (DM) interfaces requires a richer analysis than is provided by current methods. We begin by considering the strengths and weaknesses of contemporary evaluation approaches when applied to examples of DM dialogue breakdowns. In the light of this analysis we go on to discuss the necessary focus of future DM evaluation methods. In particular, we focus on the importance of presentational factors in DM interface design. We consider the role of metaphor and feature presentation in synthesis with users' representations of tasks. An analysis of the interface's role in the formation of users' device models is then proposed, and its potential use in evaluation discussed.”
