In this paper, we review principles that show promise for allowing engineers to enhance human-computer interaction through an elegant coupling of automated services with direct manipulation. Key ideas will be highlighted in terms of the Lookout system for scheduling and meeting management.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/principles-mixed-initiative-user-interfaces/}, pages = {159-166}, }
