Since the emergence of the smartphone and tablet PC whose wireless internet accessibility has improved, personal computing environment has shifted from PCs to mobile web based mobile devices, and therefore the use of information and the communication method have been changing rapidly. Under the circumstance, domestic universities have actively been establishing mobile websites for smartphone users. Such mobile websites, however, focused on diverse functions and a showy design rather than on usability or accessibility, and were developed simply for the purpose of public relations. For this reason, students are now faced with difficulties in using the websites. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel web interface with the consideration of usability and accessibility in order for users to easily use and assess proper information. The matters to be taken into account in developing a mobile website are an intuitive interface design, user experiences, a user customized interface and compliance with web standards.

The main objective of this research is to find out whether there exist any user interface factors that influence service information management professionals(SIMP)'s business activities on the web. The result of this study shows that there exists a significant level of difference between two groups of office Professionals： SIMP and general office management professionals on user interface factors. We analyzed the past and current research results and focused on four major evaluation categories： (1) web design, (2) structure, (3) navigation, and (4) interaction and identified 26 evaluation items in those categories. The study has been initiated by an intuition that there might be a significant difference in sets of user interface factors that influence SIMP and general office professionals. From the list of Best 100 Web Sites the best 30 information-providing web sites and the best 30 service-providing web sites were carefully chosen by a panel of 10 members for each group. To evaluate 60 web sites, another panel was formed by 30 professionals from each group, and they conducted evaluation in their own work settings. Reliability analysis on user interface factors and T-test to find out any influencing factors on SIMP were performed. As a result of this study, we have recognized that clarity, formation, consciseness, economics, and robustness are the most influencing user interface factors for web designers to concern when they develop web sites for SIMP. The study result can be improved by enhancing reliability of choosing target web sites In investigate and panel members. Also, in the future study it is recommended to investigate influencing factors for office professionals in terms of. age, sex, experience, academic background, etc.

The user interface is the medium, which provides the users to have an access to the web-based information system. The user interface is the means of improving usability and accessibility for the user, as well as being the core component in the web-based information system. In this paper, the audit framework of the user interface was developed to upgrade the usability and accessibility; it was based on the three basic components of the current audit framework in the web-based information system. At the time of an audit, the UI process of the 'Analysis', 'UI Design', 'UI Production', and 'Test' was defined, which was analyzed through the web development methodology. Also, for the area of an audit, the 'Information', 'Design', and 'Technology' were defined by the analysis of the components that makes up the user interface, From the view of an audit, the standard criteria of an assessment were set as 'Usability', 'Accessibility', and 'Cross Browsing'. Through the framework that was proposed in this paper, practical audit applies the performed examples. By this, the efficiency of the proposed framework was verified.

The user interface (UI) is the part of the systems that users can see, hear and feel. That means, a user can interact with the systems through the user interface. Effective user interfaces create positive feelings of success and competence. In addition, they enable users to concentrate on their work, exploration, or pleasure. The German word "Gestalt" means "whole" as well as a figure or a shape. A comprehensive information systems (IS) literature review found that there has been little empirical evidence on the Gestalt principles in UIs that affect online users' perceived usability in a Web context. Therefore, the goals of this study are to 1) examine the relationships between Gestalt principles in UIs and online users' perceived usability in a Web context and 2) come up with design guidelines to enhance user success. Using a survey, this study explored the relationships between Gestalt principles used in six Web sites and 17 aspects of usability. The results showed that in terms of 16 aspects of usability, there are significant differences among the UIs that have different levels of Gestalt principles. In practice, online stores may use these findings to improve their Web pages. Specifically, the sixteen usability attributes can be used to check whether online stores' Web pages meet customers' user interface quality expectations.

This paper is aimed at defining items of analysis using SNMP MIB-II for the purpose of managing the Internet based network running on TCP/IP protocol, and then utilize these items, in conjunction with various Web technology and JAVA to design and implement a Web based interface of a management system to analyze the performance and status of the Internet. Among the required items in order to accomplish this task are utilization, interface packet transmission rate, I/O traffic ratio, and so on. Based on these items, the actual analysis is carried out by the Web interface according to the type of analysis. For instance, the interface executes the function of real-time analysis, collection processing, elementary analysis and detailed analysis. The demand of the user is fed into the Web interface which carried out a real-time analysis with the client system which in turn will eventually produce the results of the analysis. In order words, the interface acts as a mediator server for the analysis system. Furthermore, a protocol for exchange of data and messages between the server and the analysis system, the MATP protocol, was also designed. Finally, the results obtained through the system presented in this paper were displayed on screen according to the type of analysis. The system realized in this paper uses We technology and is independent of platform and allows the user to determine the performance of Internet at his/her own host according to the selected items of analysis.

Diverse operating systems and developed platforms of mobile devices are implemented by vendors exist. The software has to be developed by respective environment in designing the user interface of software. For the solution of the inconvenience, this paper proposes an integrated platform 4A DUOS for developing user interface independently. The proposed platform can use web language not dependent on various operating systems, and offer online access to API and component templates to provide the convenience of the user interface design. Also, the server with on board designed user interface implements the service to the user. Therefore, the users can design the independent user interface on various mobile devices by using only one source.
