Abstract:
This paper presents the results of a study conducted at Georgia Institute
of Technology that captured client-side user events of NCSA's X Mosaic.
Actual user behavior, as determined from client-side log file analysis,
supplemented our understanding of user navigation strategies as well as
provided real interface usage data. Log file analysis also yielded design
and usability suggestions for WWW pages, sites and browsers. The
methodology of the study and findings are discussed along with future
research directions.
Keywords:
