Tony Temple IBM UKAdvanced Interface Design for Ease of Use
January 28, 2000
Computers are just too complex for the average user, and many
experts suffer too. This has got to change, firstly through
design that satisfies the intended audience. Users have to be
intimately involved at the beginning of every project, such that
their expectations are at least satisfied and hopefully exceeded.
At the same time we need to embrace some of the new technologies
that will dramatically change the user experience. Our goal
must be to make the computer transparent, so that users can perform
their tasks in a natural and effective manner.

MR A C C Temple (Tony) is an IBM Fellow and Vice President,
Ease
of Use, IBM Corporation. He helped to launch IBM's international
Time Sharing service in Europe and was instrumental in the development
of Application System (AS), one of IBM's most successful application
offerings, both as a service and subsequently as a Program Product.
This success with AS led to the establishment of the IBM Software
Development Laboratory, in Warwick, UK, where he served as Director.
Soon after he also took responsibility for IBM's Dublin Laboratory.
During the late 1980's, Tony led the design of IBM's future
end user systems, including the definition of User Interface
Standards. Tony is the recipient of many IBM awards for innovation
and technical achievement. He became a member of the IBM Academy
of Technology in 1989 and was appointed an IBM Fellow in 1993.
