 Ben Shneiderman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ben Shneiderman (born August 21, 1947) is an American computer scientist.
Shneiderman currently holds a post as professor for Computer Science at the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory at the University of Maryland, College Park.
In addition to his influential work in user interface design, he is known for the co-invention (together with Isaac Nassi) of the Nassi-Shneiderman diagrams, a graphical representation of the design of structured software.

 Scientific American: Profile: Humans Unite!: March 1999
According to Shneiderman, agents and their cyber-kin, which have been promoted most notably by Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Patti Maes, are a new version of the "mimicry game," the long and undistinguished tradition of making devices that look or work like humans.
Shneiderman emphasizes that software should be checked for ease and speed of use as well as for the number of errors it provokes.
Maes, for her part, says Shneiderman is attacking a straw man. The goal of agents research, she remarks, is not to mimic human intelligence but to help the user suffering from information overload by providing "simple, understandable, predictable programs" that can act on his or her behalf.

 SAP Design Guild -- Book Review: Leonardo's Laptop
Ben Shneiderman's contributions to the user interface design field are numerous and diverse, such as hypertext systems, direct manipulation (a term that was coined by him), information visualization (starfield display, treemap, visible human, and many more...), and the design of large information-abundant Websites.
Shneiderman focuses on evolutionary creativity because it offers the perspective of developing mega-creativity: "enable more people to be more creative more of the time." He considers three perspectives on creativity, inspirational, structural, and situational, each of which leads to different requirements for supporting software tools.
In the beginning of his book, Shneiderman introduces this concept because it provides the basis for his vision of the new computing, the goals of which he characterizes thereafter.

 ALA Book Review - Human Needs and the New Computing Technologies
Shneiderman claims this is but one example of the move from artificial intelligence (AI) to user interfaces.
The real meat of the book is foreshadowed by Shneiderman's discussion of new computing: “methods that can produce more usable, more reliable computer software and user interfaces that yield much improved user experiences” (26).
Shneiderman then outlines the transformations from old computing to the new.

Shneiderman thinks the notion of "intelligent agents" misleads people into thinking the machine will do the job for us.
He agrees with Shneiderman that you can't "trust" a machine the way you "trust" a human — but he doesn't have any other term to use to describe the concept.

Since the beginning of the computer age, researchers from many disciplines have sought to facilitate people's use of computers and to provide ways for scientists to make sense of the immense quantities of data coming out of them.
As user interface designers, software developers, and yes-as users, we all know the frustration that comes with using "one size fits all" software from off the shelf.
Examining the rapidly growing field of remote computer-based learning, this title discusses how to use and create a Web-based system for teaching and learning, using groupware for collaboration, multimedia, distance learning, and much more.

 Clarifying Search: A User-Interface Framework for Text Searches
Based on experience with many systems (Shneiderman, 1992) as well as recent efforts with the Library of Congress's THOMAS (Croft, Cook and Wilder, 1995) and American Memory projects, we propose a four-phase framework for thinking about text-search user interfaces.
The suggestions given here are designed to be complementary to ongoing research in information retrieval interfaces and visualization.
For example, changing the search-initiation button label from "search" to "query" or "browse" has been shown to slow user performance and lower satisfaction significantly (Mahajan and Shneiderman, 1996).
