| Abstract | The choice of a software userinterface is very strategic. Usability testing alone often does not determine the best software user interface. Secondly, economic considerations and the fact that software performance is a stochastic dynamic process (Markov process), are often neglected in user interface evaluations. Hence, evaluation tools that better capture the overall user experience, in addition to user interface economics and dynamics, should evaluate software user interfaces more effectively. The psychological concept of flow has been proposed as better metric for measuring software user experience. Hence, a good software interface design should have flow characteristics, a virtual strategy. The strategic nature of software user interface necessitates the need for the best tool for modeling the strategic interaction among competing software firms/user interfaces. The decision problem therefore, is how to develop an approporiate game theoretic model to assist software userinterface designers. In the light of these shortcommings, game theoretic model using markov chains and the flow theory concept was used to model and obtain optimal/equilibrium software user interface among competing firms/userinterfaces. The results of the study show that game theoretic analysis would be a very useful tool for software user interface evaluation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
