许多问题的复杂性要求创造和探索多种替代解决方案。然而，当用户交互地修改数据时，当前的用户界面并不清楚地支持在它们可能被发现的时候创建替换项。本文提出了并行路径，这是一种新的交互模型，有助于生成、操作和比较可选方案。与自动历史记录捕获工具等现有方法不同，并行路径强调同时主动开发多个替代解决方案。我们在并行Pies中演示了这种交互模型，这是一种为图像处理任务开发的用户界面机制，允许用户：在与命令交互时轻松创建解决方案备选方案；将备选方案嵌入同一工作空间；独立或同时操作备选方案，就像它们是同一对象一样；并对每个备选方案执行并排比较。给出了初步评估的结果，以及对未来设计的影响。
The complexity of many problems necessitates creating and exploring multiple, alternative solutions. However, current user interfaces do not cleanly support creating alternatives at a time when they are likely to be discovered: as users interactively modify data. This paper presents Parallel Paths, a novel model of interaction that facilitates generating, manipulating, and comparing alternative solutions. In contrast to existing approaches such as automated history capture tools, Parallel Paths emphasizes the active, simultaneous development of multiple, alternative solutions. We demonstrate this model of interaction in Parallel Pies, a user interface mechanism developed for image manipulation tasks that allows users to: easily create solution alternatives as they interact with a command; embed the alternatives in the same workspace; manipulate the alternatives independently or simultaneously as if they were the same object; and perform side-by-side comparisons of each. Results from an initial evaluation are presented, along with implications for future designs.
