Abstract

The World Wide Web displays characteristics that make accurate performance prediction impossible. This paper relates performance engineering concepts and practice to an HCI notion of temporal response. In particular, it explores the notion of temporal interaction error and attuning, and presents two examples that serve as a vehicle for the exploration of this domain. The paper concludes with proposals for future directions for research in the area of web interaction.
