WWW sites vs. applications software: the DAIS model

Published: 03 July 2003 Publication History

Abstract

Since the advent and widespread use of the Internet, it has become apparent that there are significant differences between applications software and WWW sites which warrant a re-examination of HCI design and evaluation methods. Previous research has identified and documented the factors which differentiate between applications software and WWW sites, however a well defined model of these differences and their origins was not available. This paper defines such a model of Distinguishing Attributes for Informational Sites (DAIS).
