ABSTRACT
We formulated a model of visual search by conducting a work flow study and task analysis of art directors as they searched for images to use in an advertisement. The analysis revealed the presence of artistic and image concepts, flexible structures which guide the search and are molded by them. Analysis results were used to build a model-based interface for visual search. Results from presenting the interface to users indicate that the interface has the potential to make significant contributions to the visual search task, both in time savings and as an aid to the creative process.

Exploring the relationships between work task and search task in information search
To provide a basis for making predictions of the characteristics of search task (ST), based on work task (WT), and to explore the nature of WT and ST, this study examines the relationships between WT and ST (inter-relationships) and the relationships ...
Eye tracking the visual search of click-down menus
CHI '99: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsClick-down (or pull-down) menus have long been a key component of graphical user interfaces, yet we know surprisingly little about how users actually interact with such menus. Nilsens [8] study on menu selection has led to the development of a number of ...
From user interface design to the support of intelligent and adaptive interfaces: an overhaul of user interface software infrastracture
Research on adaptive interfaces in the past has lacked support from user interface tools which allow interfaces to be easily created and modified. Also, current user interface tools provide no support for user models which can collect task-oriented ...
