Privacy can be a key aspect of the user experience with computers, online systems, and new technologies. Knowing what to consider about users and their views of computer systems can only improve privacy mechanism. Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is the sub field of Computer Science that studies how people interact with and through computational technologies. In this paper, a three-level model-based approach is provided for the end user privacy in the human computer interaction as the end user’s privacy in the area of HCI is emerging as critical design element for interacting systems in areas as diverse as e-commerce, health care, office work, personal communications etc. The data privacy of end user as well as the resource access privacy is needed to be considered. As of now, no proper solution exists for all types of interface users which is a major privacy issue. Hence, to provide the end users, their personal data protection as well as the resource access security, this paper focuses on analyzing and developing the theory of technological acceptance related to user privacy

Designing usable web-based interfaces challenges practitioners to carefully consider end-user behaviour and requirements. Unfortunately, in meeting this challenge, human-computer interaction task analysis is often poorly understood and applied during web design activities. Rather than purely evaluating usability against prescriptive guidelines, we argue that designing for web-based interaction requires a more holistic and descriptive approach. This chapter provides an overview of cognitive and postcognitive human-computer interaction task analysis frameworks, and their respective abilities to capture a systemic view of stakeholder requirements. As such, this chapter provides a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners alike.

Software systems are one of the most important technologies that are present in every task that humans and computers perform. Humans perform their tasks by using a computer interface. However, because many developers have not been exposed to one or more courses on Human Computer Interaction (HCI), they sometimes create software using their own preferences based on their skills and abilities and do not consult theories that could help them produce better outcomes. A study was carried out to identity whether software that is developed by using Gestalt Theory combined with interface development principles produces better outcomes compared to software developed using developers' current skills. Results show that participants perceived the system that was developed by a team that had been given training about Gestalt Theory and design guidelines had superior perceived quality compared to another team that did not receive the training. However, results should be taken cautiously.

There is a remarkable increase in the usage of Internet and general technology improvements. From this, it follows that there is a demand and need to create personalized web systems. Thus, personalized web systems are a good method of handling the flood of information and information overload, by helping people to surf the net and look for what they need. Unfortunately, the privacy issues that end-users face have not been taken seriously by some of these personalized web systems, as some of them apply it partially or fail to address the privacy issues in personalization. This affects the quality of the existing personalized web. The paper aims to investigate and explain the reasons behind the end-user’s fears in giving out his/her personal information on personalized websites. Then, based on the results modifying approach of personalized web through the use of Human Computer Interaction models to enhance the quality of the current personalized web. By addressing the main privacy issues in human computer interaction that helps the end-user trust the personalization web and website with his/her personal information and improve the quality of current personalized web. A survey study with 134 Internet users was conducted. The findings show that personalization plays different roles of attracting users in personalized websites. Internet users want useful personalized services, but at the same time, they are concerned with the manner in which firms use their data for personalization. If the involvement of Internet users with their current site is high, then personalized services are not attractive enough to motivate them to give their personal information.</span></p>


Graphical user interface plays the vital in the human computer interaction. It exchanges the information and improves the communication. The user interface development represents an initial step towards the integration among the software developer and Human Computer interaction. Upcoming complexity Systems needs the developer to make User interface design is more flexible, understandable, adaptable and accessible to the end user. Software development identifies the importance of user interface design but don’t form concise guidelines for its construction and its quality with in the life cycle. The intent of the research paper is to describe the guidelines for user interface design quality, customization and construction. It highlights the various benefits, quality guidelines, construction and supporting tools in perspective of user interface design. The information is useful for researchers, developers and professional of the user interface design for forth coming generations.
