✦ Synopsis

The concept of ease of use has evolved over the last 30 years , keeping pace with developments in user interface technology , in the manner of Carroll's task -artifact cycle . This paper argues that recent developments in knowledge engineering require yet further changes in the concept and discusses what implications they might have for user interface design .

The development in question is that construction of knowledge bases is , in many cases , no longer a matter of assembling pieces of knowledge that have been made available by knowledge acquisition , but takes on the nature of creative design which results in the generation of new knowledge at the user interface . A key dif ference is that while knowledge base assembly can be seen as a series of discrete events , creative design is more of a continuous process in which the user's flow of thinking must not be interrupted . This means that traditional WIMP and GUI interfaces are no longer appropriate and a more ''proximal'' form must be found .

As argued in a companion paper , Basden and Hibberd (1996) , there is a need for a more ''proximal'' form of user interface than is currently of fered by traditional WIMP styles of interface . This is necessary for knowledge representation tools used in ill structured domains , in the use of which n
