Abstract

Successful interaction with a computer to solve a specific problem requires the user to accomplish three basic tasks. First, the user must identify the goal to be accomplished. Second, a series of steps needed to accomplish the goal should be generated. Third, the user must carry out the specified steps. It is this third task that requires the user to interact with the computer. Most frequently this interaction is facilitated by the use of a software package that acts as an interface medium. The software permits the formulated steps to be implemented by the underlying system.
