Editorial: Have You Ever Heard of Performance-Oriented (UI) Design?
We are proud to announce that we published our second highlight topic on the SAP Design Guild (see top
news). This year’s articles focus on performance, or more precisely, on various aspects of human performance at the
computer. Since there are already a number of introductions to the highlight topic on this site, our author would like
to reserve this editorial to a specific aspect: performance-oriented (UI) design.

Design Tidbits: Human Performance at the Computer — Part 4: On the Way to Performance-Oriented UI Guidelines
In the second article (even though named part 4…), our
author focuses on improving the users’ performance. He points out
that user interface design plays a critical role in this endeavor
and proposes to establish “performance-oriented” guidelines,
which support UI designers and help them to improve the user’s performance — or,
at least, prevent them from degrading it.

Design Tidbits: Human Performance at the Computer — Part 2: Making Applications More Responsive
In this article, our author focuses on the aspect of improving system responsiveness.
He points out that the challenge here is to find ways of reducing the waiting
times for users even when processes are still running. He also
shows that responsiveness is by no means a purely technical topic,
because waiting times also impact users in certain ways. The article
lists recommendations for making applications more responsive and
concludes with discussing how control can be returned to users
in the best possible way.

Design Tidbits: Human Performance at the Computer — Part 1: Introduction
In previous articles, our author has discussed human performance
at the computer and distinguished between three aspects of performance:
system performance, system responsiveness, and human performance.
He pointed out that in order to improve the overall performance of
the human-computer system, all three aspects need to be optimized.
In this series of four articles, he picks up the topic of human performance
at the computer, includes new insights, and discusses performance-related
issues that can be approached by UI designers.
