MUIs provide multiple views of the information according to the device used and co-ordinate communication between the users.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMultiple User Interfaces: Engineering and Applications Frameworks\u003c\/i\u003e is the first work to describe user interface design for mobile and hand-held devices such as mobile phones. Given the proliferation of books on web site design in the late '90s, this promises to be the forerunner in a new wave of books dealing with the issues specific to small screens, limited memory and wireless transmission. It also deals with problems relating to multi-user functionality and sharing the same application over various platforms. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers a comprehensive account of state-of-the-art research\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCombines human and technical aspects including social interaction, workflow, HCI, \u0026amp; system architectures.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides practical toolkits, guidelines and experience reports\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes contributions from leading experts at all the key institutions – Virginia Tech, Concordia University, Lancaster University, Ericsson \u0026amp; Intel \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith such a unique and cutting-edge approach researchers and developers working on user interface design in companies manufacturing handsets and other portable devices, university HCI groups and companies providing web-based information services for delivery to hand-held devices will find this indispensable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eAhmed Seffah\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor in the department of Computer Science at Concordia University. He is director of the Human-Centered Software Engineering Group and the co-founder of the Concordia Software Usability and Empirical Studies Lab. He holds a PhD in software engineering from the Ecole Centrale de Lyon (France). His  research interest are at the crossroads between software engineering and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), including usability measurement, user interface design, empirical studies on developer experiences with CASE tools, human-centered software engineering, and patterns as a vehicle for integrating HCI knowledge in software engineering practices. Dr. Seffah  is the vice-chair of the IFIP  working group on user-centered design methodologies. During the last 10 years, he has been involved in different projects in North America and Europe.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHoma Javahery\u003c\/b\u003e is a researcher and project manager with the Human-Centered Software Engineering Group, including the Usability and Empirical Studies Lab, in the department of Computer Science at Concordia University. She holds a Master's degree in Computer Science from Concordia University, and a Bachelor of Science degree from McGill University. She is combining different design approaches from human sconces and engineering disciplines to develop a pattern-oriented framework for designing a large variety of interfaces. She has been involved in different collaborative projects at the INRIA Research Institute in Nancy, France and the Daimler-Chrysler Research Institute in Ulm, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26 January 2004\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780470854440\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e448\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29.28\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44310609920140,"sku":"9780470854440","price":139.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470854440_9b780d1d-d00a-47c2-95ad-4b7db03a2bc4.jpg?v=1780102097","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780470854440","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
