“…Another example is the concept of natural modelling as put forward by Bjeković [11], revolving around the idea of creating modelling environments based on the way humans model "naturally" since the dawn of times. Research using so-called tangible user interfaces, also indicates that it is possible to more effectively mix the social, digital and physical actors, to better capture (and discuss) designs [43,46,54,62,86]. Fleischman et al [30] have, for example, applied so-called "tangible tables" in the context of business process modelling.…”

This editorial is concerned with the need for an integrated approach to the design and engineering of organisations and their enterprises. Organisational Design originates from the organisational sciences, while the notion of Enterprise Engineering results from the engineering sciences (most notably information systems engineering, business (process) engineering, business process optimisation, and enterprise architecture). The Organisational Design and Enterprise Engineering journal (OD&EE) is built on the premise that there should not be an "either-or" relation between Organisational Design and Enterprise Engineering, but rather an integrated approach that brings out the best of the two. A driver for the creation of the journal was the observation that the "either-or" mindset was (and still is) a major obstacle to the development of organisational thinking, and that this artificial divide must be abolished. In achieving more integration between Organisational Design and Enterprise Engineering, we suggest to take a model-enabled approach, where models should act as boundary objects between the social processes involved in organisational design processes, This editorial paper is discussed in comments available at doi:10. 1007/s41251-016-0001-0, doi:10.1007/s41251-016-0002-z, doi:10. 1007/s41251-016-0004-x, doi:10.1007/s41251-016-0006-8, doi:10. 1007/s41251-016-0007-7.

“…Sources and targets of a metaphorical link may then be part of one of the domains or sub-domains. A new characterization of metaphor in TUI is thus raised, allowing the identification of design and implementation questions specific to each set of metaphors mappings [54]. To further highlight the potential diversity of sources, Hornecker [30] stressed that physical objects have potentially unlimited set of properties able to carry such a metaphorical mapping.…”

J Multimodal User Interfaces

Metaphors are a powerful conceptual device to reason about human actions. As such, they have been heavily used in designing and describing human computer interaction. Since they can address scripted text, verbal expression, imaging, sound, and gestures, they can also be considered in the design and analysis of multimodal interfaces. \ud \ud In this paper we discuss the description and evaluation of the relations between metaphors and their implementation in human computer interaction with a focus on tangible user interfaces (TUIs), a form of multimodal interface. The objective of this paper is to define how metaphors appear in a tangible context in order to support their evaluation. Relying on matching entities and operations between the domain of interaction and the domain of the digital application, we propose a conceptual framework based on three components: a structured representation of the mappings holding between the metaphor source, the metaphor target, the interface and the digital system; a conceptual model for describing metaphorical TUIs; three relevant properties, coherence, coverage and compliance, which define at what extent the implementation of a metaphorical tangible interface matches the metaphor. The conceptual framework is then validated and applied on a tangible prototype in an educational application

“…A TUI is a connection between a physical object and the interaction device or digital information (Ishii and Ullmer, 2000). As computing technology has progressed, interface interaction styles and metaphors have advanced as well, blurring the line between physical actions and digital interaction (Maquil et al 2012). Hybrid User Interfaces (HUI) allows for the implementation of multiple computing components or multiple user interfaces (Bani-Taha, 2014).…”

A Cognitive Dimensions of Notations Evaluation of the Gwich'in Place Names Atlas Interface

The cognitive dimensions of notations framework evaluation of the Gwich'in place names atlas interface utilized a modified version of Green & Blackwell's (2000) cognitive dimensions evaluation to evaluate the Gwich'in Place Names atlas' (http://atlas.gwichin.ca/index.html) interface usability. A use-case scenario was used to guide participants through the interface. Following the guided exploration researchers conducted a self -assessment survey and semi-structured interview. All guided explorations were video recorded and coded in order to analyze participants' actions within the interface. These two approaches combined provide subjective and objective evaluations of the Gwich'in place names atlas. The results of both evaluations outlined many usability issues related to the visibility, role expressiveness and viscosity of the interface. Usability tradeoffs were explored based on potential design maneuvers. We found that the cognitive dimensions of notations evaluation and lexicon are an appropriate low-cost, broad-brush evaluation method for online interactive cartographic interfaces. 22Acknowledgements
