a 15 year path of usability development in europe
This paper presents, in summary form, the development and dissemination of usability ideas and methods in Europe as experienced via a series of European Commission supported projects. In briefly presenting the projects' achievements and outstanding issues, it mirrors some of the history of usability in a wider context. Thus it is intended to inform delegates, especially those from outside Europe, of some of the usability research and development activities that have taken place while at the same time raising questions that are still live.
