Introduction
Traditionally, usability has been
incorporated into software design process as research results of the
requirements definition phase. However, usability issues are
often strongly related to the architecture of the system: certain
architectural solutions may either support or hamper usability
requirements. Thus,
taking into account the crucial role of usability in the overall
quality of a
software system, usability issues should be systematically considered
in
architectural design.
Recently, several approaches have been taken to bridge the gap between
usability and software architecture. The summer school gives an
overview of some of the major approaches integrating usability
requirements with
the software development process, especially with architecture design.
The lecturers are internationally well-known researchers representing a
wide spectrum of viewpoints on usability and software architectures.
