Planning nets: a framework for analyzing user-computer interactions.

Riley, Mary; O'Malley, C.

Abstract

During the course of interacting with a computer, a user has goals that correspond to tasks to be performed and must plan how to achieve those goals with the available commands. We present a framework for analyzing user goals, the mapping between those goals and available commands, and the factors influencing the success and efficiency of the resulting plans. We discuss the implications of our analysis for the development of principles for improving user-computer interactions.
