Sinopsis

A brief survey of the major DBMS and HeI conference proceedings over the past 10 years will reveal isolated pockets of research in database user interfaces but little sense of being swept along with the general advances in DBMS technology and Hel. New data models have evolved to meet the needs of different application domains; persistent programming languages are blurring the traditional distinction between data definition and application programming languages; distribution and inter-operability have become issues as have the storage of heterogeneous media types; yet it is still rare to read of the HeI issues raised by these technological innovations being expressly addressed and rarer still to find recognition of the usability problems with longer-established database technologies. There are at least two reasons why this should be surprising: • Database systems are not like other computer systems; existing both as back-ends to other applications and as stand-alone data stores, they are typically slow, deal with very large volumes of data and can involve all sorts of security, confidentiality and even cooperability issues. • Databases are everywhere. Perhaps only word processors and spread­ sheets are more widespread. In addition, as business cultures change and personal computing continues to mould expectations, end-users find themselves interacting increasingly closely with database systems.

A brief survey of the major DBMS and HeI conference proceedings over the past 10 years will reveal isolated pockets of research in database user interfaces but little sense of being swept along with the general advances in DBMS technology and Hel.

Reseña del editor

This volume contains revised papers from the Second International Workshop on Interfaces to Database Systems (IDS94), held at Lancaster University, from 13-15 July 1994. The workshop aimed to develop an interaction between the design of database systems and user interfaces. It covered a range of issues, including data visualisation, applications of computer graphics and virtual reality, formal models of user interfaces, and evaluation methods for designers of database user interfaces. The authors come from a wide variety of research backgrounds, which span both the DBMS and HCI fields. Interfaces to Database Systems (IDS94) is unique in that it brings together different approaches from the database and HCI communities. It will provide essential reading for researchers in database systems, and also industrial developers of DBMS.
