Iberia is a synchronic corpus of scientific Spanish designed mainly for terminological studies. In this paper, we describe its design and the infrastructure for its acquisition, processing and exploitation, including mark-up, linguistic annotation, indexing and the user interface. Two pre-processing tasks affecting a large number of words are described in detail: de-hyphenation and identification of text fragments in other languages. We also show how some of the reported statistics, namely, dispersion and association, are used for research on lexis.

This paper describes an experimental study that compares a graphical user interface for a computer-telephony product designed without the involvement of a human factors engineer to a redesign of that interface designed with a human factors engineer late in the development cycle. Both interfaces were usability tested with target customers. Results from a number of measures, both subjective and objective, indicate that the interface designed with the human factors engineer was easier to use than the interface designed without the human factors engineer. The results of this study show the benefits of involving human factors engineers in the design of graphical user interfaces even towards the end of a development cycle. However, this involvement is most effective when human factors engineers are included as an integral part of the design and development process even at this late stage in the process.
