The cascade of interactions in the digital library interface
2002
Information Processing & Management
This cascade of interactions culminates in the interface, where all the prior interactions have either worked to produce eective information retrieval or to produce a hodgepodge of system elements working ...
Good design requires that these interactions be well understood and properly designed for the purposes of the information system in question. ...
So, in sum, the Cascade Model is not a design-process model, a human±computer interaction model, an information retrieval model, an interaction in information retrieval model, nor a Web site design or ...
