Dear Shrikant, and Dear Itamar, I was aware of "heuristic evaluation". The problem with this approach, - IMO - is that it requires one or more Usability Engineers(s) for conducting the evaluation. But thank you anyway; I appreciate your kind and informative replies.
Dear Charles, I'm going to stick with concrete criteria instead of abstract ones, as you advised. I'll also follow your suggested structure for writing the article. A BIG THANK YOU! You provided the advices which my teachers are unable to provide. Dear Dmitry, Thanks a lot for pointing out US-Governments usability guidelines! and... certainly I won't judge them based on the source ;) Dear Sylvie, Bonjour! Those two books you mentioned are the classics of ID, but I haven't read them yet. I'm currently reading "Interaction Design: beyond human-computer interaction (2nd Edition)", and I highly recommend it to everyone. By the way, I guess there is a book entitled "Cost-justifying usability" which could help both us to promote the importance of usability. Once again, thank you all for being so generous to me and providing such great answers. I won't forget you, and I'll mention your names and your kindness in the article :-) -Behzad P.S. Here's one e-gift-link which I hope you'll enjoy seeing it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/shapourbahrami/sets/72157594358982545/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
