Abstract. Creating multiple layout alternatives for graphical user interfaces to accommodate different screen orientations for mobile devices is labor intensive. Here, we investigate how such layout alternatives can be generated automatically from an initial layout. Providing good layout alternatives can inspire developers in their design work and support them to create adaptive layouts. We performed an analysis of layout alternatives in existing apps and identified common realworld layout transformation patterns. Based on these patterns we developed a prototype that generates landscape and portrait layout alternatives for an initial layout. In general, there is a very large number of possibilities of how widgets can be rearranged. For this reason we developed a classification method to identify and evaluate "good" layout alternatives automatically. From this set of "good" layout alternatives, designers can choose suitable layouts for their applications. In a questionnaire study we verified that our method generates layout alternatives that appear well structured and are easy to use.

“…Other researchers conducted usability evaluations of different interface designs for various applications, including social-networking sites [2] and browsing tabular data on small-display devices [13]. Roudaki et al [15] comprehensively evaluated the users' preference for mobile browsing techniques such as platform-specific mobile design, web page restructuring, and zooming based interaction.…”

Keywords:Mobile web browsing Homepage design Mobile-page interface design HCI Human-web interaction Usability a b s t r a c tThe efficiency of web surfing with a smartphone depends heavily on how well a website is structured. With the goal of understanding the effects of mobile-page and homepage designs on small-screen devices, we conducted two experimental studies to examine how users evaluated interface designs that are widely used on mobile news websites. We found that the designs for mobile news pages and the structures for website homepages can have a significant impact on perceived ease of use, reading time, and the overall reading experience. Based on the evaluation results and the analysis of the current interface design for popular mobile news websites, we developed two important guidelines for mobile news websites: (1) the single-page design is favored over the multi-page and zooming designs for displaying text-based information, and (2) a homepage with a thumbnail design facilitates information processing better than the progressive and list-view designs. Our research provides valuable empirical evaluations that help interface designers understand the potential impact of various interface designs on user experience. We also identified several directions related to interface design for future investigation.

“…AHP methodology was applied to obtain preference of evaluation criteria and the extension of the TOPSIS is applied to rank the mobile phone alternatives. In another study, Roudaki et al (2015) compared various techniques for web browsing usability on mobile devices from six perspectives, i.e., development cost, consistency with the desktop version, dynamic content supports, hardware requirements, display optimisation and user operation. The identical mobile phones were manipulated with regard to their visual appearance to determine the influence of appearance on perceived usability, performance measures and perceived attractiveness.…”

“…When consumers buy products, they expect the products to meet their standards and they expect them to be 'usable' (Chan et al, 2011;Eraslan, 2013;Lee et al, 2015;Roudaki et al, 2015). Product usability is a measure of how effectively, satisfactorily and efficiently a product is used by specific consumers for specific aims (ISO 9241-11, 1998;Harvey et al, 2011;Sauer and Sonderegger, 2009;Sonderegger and Sauer, 2010;Sonderegger et al, 2012;Eraslan, 2013;Lee et al, 2015).…”

Satisfaction of new expectations such as product usability and customer feelings are increasing the value of mobile electronic devices. In this study, cell phones, which are widely used among all touch screen mobile devices, are selected and various features which affect the usability of these products are researched in analytical network process (ANP)-technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution-based (TOPSIS) Taguchi method. With the participation of fifteen subjects, usability tests are performed for four equivalent brands of touch screen phones. The relationships and interactions between the criteria affecting the usability of the touch screen phones and the results of the questionnaires are evaluated by ANP. Also, ANP is combined into TOPSIS-based Taguchi method and the most usable touch screen mobile phones with respect to optimal criteria levels are determined with a proposed integrated approach. This study helps the touch screen mobile phone designers focus on the usability that contribute most to the desirable product options. The proposed ANP-TOPSIS-based Taguchi method provides an effective way for facilitating the consumer oriented touch screen mobile phone design process.
