According to Copeland and McKenney (1988) in 1940’s the airline reservation booking is done at terminal or through telephone which is recorded manually and in 1950’s mainframe computers are used to alter airline reservations by providing updates periodically. They also stated, during post World War II era there is a rapid increase in flight demand which lead in deterioration of both customer services and resource utilization which may affect the airline operations in processing large volumes of information. In 1960’s, American and United Airlines realized that processing of information is a critical success factor for airline industry and started developing electronic systems which lead to further development of Computerized reservation systems(CRS) for processing reservations (Copeland toronto to london travel packages and McKenney ,1988).
After the development toronto to london travel packages of CRS the market segmentation was changed and new market structures like airline travel agents emerged where the major reservation function was moved from airlines toronto to london travel packages to travel agents (Sheila Sherlock and William G.Chismar, 2006). Travel agents became information toronto to london travel packages intermediaries between organizations whose primary role was collecting and transmitting data for other organizations, for which they receive percentage from the cost of the ticket from the airlines. The market dictated that the systems begin to interoperate, at least to the point of showing competitor’s routes and fares (Sheila Sherlock and William G.Chismar, 2006). The American Airlines system, SABRE, was the first to handle and display information about other airline flights (Copeland and McKenney, 1988).
The evolution of internet made a significant change toronto to london travel packages in computerized reservation system of airline industry such as airline websites (i.e. Air India), websites operated jointly by airlines (i.e. Momondo), online travel agents (i.e. Travelocity) and traditional travel agents websites. At present all computerized reservation systems serves as booking engines behind toronto to london travel packages most web-based booking and mechanisms (web sites customized web booking for large corporations) in many forms including Application Service Provider models (Sheila Sherlock and William G.Chismar, 2006).We need to narrow our research toronto to london travel packages area and focus on the previous researches of interaction design principles on Internet booking system
A good Design of User interface makes the interaction more easily and less mistaking guidance for the users. So the usability research of interface design becomes particularly important and a crucial concept in the interaction design. According to Lowgren Stolerman ,(2004) Interaction Design is defined as the process used to create ,form and establish the use oriented characteristics such as structural ,functional ,esthetical for one or more clients. The above mentioned concepts plays a very important role through out the thesis and discussed toronto to london travel packages in detail with Flight booking systems.
In general there are many flight booking systems, what makes the user choose a particular website for booking .The ability to respond to change in use situation makes the user choose a particular website for booking( Jörn Loviscach, 2009). There are also many flexibility issues in the transaction processing systems a reason for not using flight booking systems (Arif Mushtaq Suziah toronto to london travel packages Sulaiman, 2009) . There are also some critical factors in user interface departments of flight booking system where the user should feel esthetically pleasing (Roshanak Safavi,2009). .The aboissues are analyzed for Flight booking Systems using interaction design principles which leads to the problem statement.
Many Internet booking systems have a low degree of usability (Roshanak Safavi, toronto to london travel packages 2009). For example In the case of Flight booking systems, some of them give unclear error messages and the user cannot understand why a certain booking toronto to london travel packages cannot be performed. When a booking has been done, it is also difficult to roll back the booking if it later turns out that the dates must be changed.
Since many flight booking systems have a low degree of usability in the use situation(Roshanak Safavi, 2009) .Many users experience problems when interacting toronto to london travel packages with an online reservation system because the systems have not been designed using appropriate design principles. The purpose of this research is therefore to create toronto to london travel packages an understanding for some important toronto to london travel packages interaction design principles that could be used to enhance the usability in a online booking situation. Since our thesis has been illustrated in the user perspective toronto to london travel packages a lots and lots of research question can be derived.
Our target group are professionals who create toronto to london travel packages flight booking systems such as website designers, software developers .Then, Travel agencies, who want to know what usability aspects of the leading flight booking websites to be implemented on their flight toronto to london travel packages booking website to gain user attention. People who work in informatics toronto to london travel packages field i.e Information Systems of Flight booking Systems . Future researchers in the field of Online reservation system.
toronto to london travel packages We have not analyzed Data Base of Flight Reservation system which is our major delimitation and practical implementation toronto to london travel packages logics have not been analyzed ie Back end of the Airline reservation system has not been investigated or analyzed using Interaction Design Principles.
What HCI principles are used to make the Flight booking toronto to london travel packages systems to provide good usability and how they manage to be more effective in bringing the potential toronto to london travel packages of the customer into booking process with less confusion and friction. Our analysis when implemented will increase the usability of the Fight booking system.
The word knowledge creation in the below diagrams refers to the cognitive thought on different departments of Human Computer Interaction. .We use user centered approach for creating knowledge where as the knowledge may be in different perspective of the user in flight booking system .This may be for example the experiences faced while booking tickets with the present booking system and the previous knowledge of the researchers who has already presented the validated knowledge in his or her article followed with the critiques on flight booking system. This practical knowledge created in the different departments of human computer interaction of flight booking system needs to be validated using a research strategy.
Further we want to argue with this diagram how can this created knowledge be presented in the research perspective .The knowledge created can be proved toronto to london travel packages only by research strategies. To provide the understability of the knowledge created and for interpretation of the knowledge we found that Hermeneutics research perspective will help us prove our findings in an theoretical manner were the other perspectives are meant with calculations and which does not serve the purpose of our thesis.
toronto to london travel packages According to MichaelN.Forster (2007) hermeneutics is the theory of achieving and understading of texts,utterences and so on .A text have a meaning which is independent of interpreted object, and researchers who consider interpretation as condition for all understanding (Rudestam Newton, 2001). Bernstein (1987) stated that she cannot study a concept unbiased because toronto to london travel packages it is not possible for human beings to think in uninterpreting and uncomprehending manner. So text is thus not limited to the meanings that the author was aware of but reaches beyond that (Nystrom, 2002).
In this approach the researcher develops knowledge based on postpositivist claims toronto to london travel packages and applies strategies of inquiry using experiments and surveys and gathers data based on predetermined instruments which results in yielding toronto to london travel packages statistical data (John W.Creswell,2003).This approach acquire the ideals toronto to london travel packages from natural science where the collected information and the resulted data is quantitative in manner (Ann Lind, 2005).Therefore this approach is well linked with objectivistic epistemology (Rudestom Nerwton,2001) and ontology. Since this approach is used in the case of variables evaluation. The understanding of a theoretical concepts on human computer interaction of flight booking system doesn’t match our knowledge creation .This reveals this approach will not create a greater impact in our thesis .
In this approach the researcher makes knowledge claims depending on constructivist perspectives (i.e. multiple meanings of individual toronto to london travel packages experiences and also theories socially toronto to london travel packages and historically constructed) or advocacy/participatory perspectives or both (John W.Creswell,2003) .In this approach the researcher develops themes based on open-ended, emerging data he collected. This approach also uses strategies of inquiry such as narratives ,phenomenology’s, case studies, grounded theory studies or ethenographies (John W.Creswell,2003) .This approach is also concerned with issues of measurement, but with measures which are varied in order to numerical measures(Christine Spartt , Rob Walker, Bernadette Robinson,2004).The knowledge created in our thesis has a good validation in accordance with the theoretical findings. So the qualitative approach sounds the better in the case of solving a research question with theoretical back ground.Theoritical background refers to knowledge with practical experiences writtern and validated in theoretical perspective.
Yin (1994) states, that a case study is an empirical inquiry that investigates a contemporary phenomenon within its real life context, especially when the boundaries between phenomenon and context are not clearly evident.
According to Yin (1994) case study research contains both single and multiple case studies. In our study we are using multiple case studies to analyze website designing using interaction toronto to london travel packages design principles. toronto to london travel packages Because multiple case studies provide evidence which is more compelling and robust (Yin ,1994). As our thesis use an approach which has an explanatory focus on the research purpose we follow multiple case studies as our suitable strategy.
