Lots of the agricultural information come from human experiences and are in non-numerical forms. Therefore, it is difficult to process to be processed in a conventional data processing way. An internet expert system for agricultural application using the ASP(active server page) was developed to solve this problem and consisted of databases, an inference engine, and an user interface. The databases were composed of rule base, question base and link data. The inference engine was developed with the ASP for connection with web between databases. The used interface was developed with the CGI(common gateway interface), so that question could be answered on a web browser, and the session technique was used to provide proper result to each of multi-users. A prototype internet expert system was developed for diagnosis of diseases and nutritional disorders of paddy rice. The expert system was interactively worked through WWW(world wide web) at remote sites by multi-users, even at the same time. The rule base could be easily updated and modified from a web server computer by a knowledge engineer.

This paper presents a tool that automatically generates mobile web applications from user interface (UI) models which are based on PELUM (Pattern and Event based Logical User Interface Modeling). PELUM is a method for the effective development of UI-centered embedded systems via UI modeling. The proposed tool consists of a model editor and a code generator. The former provides an environment for modeling a Logical UI Model (LUM) and a Programming Interface Model (PIM) on the web. On the other hand, the code generator sets the screen configuration and events' behavior, according to the LUM, synthesizing a local database schema according to the PIM, and then generates an executable mobile web app. It also can produce mashup web apps by receiving an open API address via the PIM. The generated mobile web apps follow the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture in order for users to easily customize them. The proposed tool enables them to generate mobile web apps that can be executed on various devices by modeling logical UIs on the web.

Recently the research convenient for the user interface for the user interface technology that can be applied to the UI according to user's choice being made. To this end, the W3C is underway in a variety of devices from N-Screen service, consistent service delivery and the user's preferences according to UI to support adaptive services for a variety of research environments. In this paper, we studied the basic model-based user interface technology to develop a UI for the user's convenience. Web application applications apply measures will be used to apply the technology acquisition, and next-generation Web applications.

These days, the Internet networks have rapidly expanded and used in various fields and been recognized as essential in our daily life. However, there are users who have difficulties in access to web sites like those with physical disabilities. Therefore, our country as well as developed countries have paid more attention to web access, and organized investigation and research are needed. This study presents how to reduce the number of access for efficient web access by the visually disabled and designs user interface.

The use of web widgets on desktop and mobile devices has been increasing rapidly. Web widgets provide access to activities and information from various sources across the web. As the number of supported widgets increases, managing widgets and finding relevant or interesting widgets becomes more complex. In addition, interacting with widgets in web service systems can be difficult, especially for novice users. Up to this point, there has been little research on web widget usability. This paper performs an experimental study regarding user interfaces of web widgets based on the mouse tracking and work-flow analysis. In the experiment, four sites providing widget services are chosen - iGoogle, Netvibes, My yahoo, and Wizard. The experiment participants perform three assigned tasks in the chosen sites, and their mouse operations are recorded using Camtasia, a screen casting software. Mouse tracking analysis is performed based on the recorded data in order to analyze common user behaviors. In addition, work-flow diagrams representing the operational flows to carry out the given tasks in each web site are constructed so as to visually and systematically analyze detailed usage patterns. The experimental study results presented in this paper can contribute to developing guidelines for highly usable and accessible interface design of web widgets.

Mobile phones can access the wired website using mobile Full Browsing service. But the number of mobile websites is quite small compared to domestic Internet domain, and is mainly concentrated in some large businesses. The small businesses and individuals have a problem that is difficult to develop mobile Web interface, because they are lack of the technology for usability and compatibility. This paper proposes the small basic interface elements that are considered usability and based on relevant standards and can easily be applied in the industry. The proposed basic interface elements consist of 33 elements for overall behavior, navigation, contents, page definition and user input.

This article describes the process involved in usability testing a agricultural information Web site. In addition to determining the goals and requirements for the agricultural information Web site, a user and task analysis was conducted for defining the its user base and the types of tasks which users might be performing at the site. Usability testing methods with close observation and in-depth interviews provided fresh insights about how users are interacting with the agricultural information Web interface as they approach various information seeking tasks. This study uncovered problems related to unclear terminology, improper interface, location for navigational links, need for context sensitive help, built-in redundancy, and clear and consistent navigation.

오늘날 기술 경쟁이 심화되면서 업체간 기술 격차는 큰 차이를 보이지 않고 있다. 그래서 각 기업들은 자사 제품의 경쟁력 확보를 위해 다양한 분야를 연구하게 되었고, 그 결과 소비자들에게 높은 기술력을 제공하는 것보다는 새로운 경험을 제공하는 것에 대한 중요성이 점점 부각되어 가고 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 PC 에서 웹 서비스(Web-Service)를 사용하는 사용자의 경험을 IPTV 에서도 경험할 수 있는 방법에 대해 연구하였고, 그 중 사용자들이 좀더 편리하고 쉽게 웹을 경험할 수 있는 Widget UI를 제안한다. 우리가 제안하는 IPTV 에서 웹 서비스를 제공하는 Widget UI 는 서로 독립적인 Widget 서비스들로 구성되어 있으며, Widget 서비스의 개수와 배치는 사용자에 따라 다르게 제공된다. 즉, 우리는 IPTV 를 위한 사용자 맞춤형 웹 서비스 제공 Widget 사용자 인터페이스를 제안한다. 또한 각 Widget 서비스의 정보 검색은 리모컨의 4 방향 키를 사용하도록 제공함으로써 사용자에게 사용의 편리성을 증대시키고 학습 피로를 감소시킬 수 있다. 이러한 학습 편의성과 사용 편리성을 사용자에게 제공함으로써 기존에 IPTV 에서 사용하기 힘들었던 웹 서비스의 사용성을 크게 향상 시키는 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 우리는 이러한 Widget UI 의 사용성을 객관적으로 평가하기 위해 UI 전문가들을 대상으로 전문가 평가를 실시하였으며, 결과 비교를 위해 다른 웹 서비스 제공 UI 들도 추가적으로 전문가 평가를 실시하였다. 전문가 평가 결과 본 논문에서 제안한 Widget UI 가 타 UI 들에 비해 높은 사용성 평가를 기록하였으며, 이 결과는 결국 우리가 제안한 Widget UI 가 IPTV 에서 웹 서비스 정보를 제공하는데 있어 효율적이고 적합한 방식임을 보여준다.

A web application is implemented by reusing the library provided by framework and has hierarchical architecture. Also, to deal with the user request from a screen, the web application has an execution flow, called 'Business Logic', which starts with a screen, executes its composed component and comes back to the screen via database. To test web application effectively, it should reflect the characteristics of web application. In this paper we propose to test web applications via user screens with the black-box testing approach and verify its source codes with the web interface white-box test coverage that covers all the business logics of the test target and their corresponding interfaces. We analyze the proposing testing method through its tool: Testopiacov.

Considering international trends and foreign cases, it can be easily expected that web accessibility issue is becoming more and more important. While information technology has changed Korean society rapidly and widely, there are many People who have difficulties in using information services such as the elderly and persons with disabilities. One of the big barriers they face is the lack of accessibility of web services. These social problems have been rarely studied in Korea but surface as very import subjects to be addressed concerning IT and welfare policy. The objective of this study is to ensure web accessibility right for visually handicapped and reduce digital divide through development of a recommendation guideline of mobile internet user interface. In this study the trends of politics and laws related to web accessibility in developed countries are surveyed and some advisable recommendation guidelines of mobile internet user interface for visually handicapped to improve web accessibility are proposed.
