Conclusion

Abstract

In this thesis, criteria and guidelines on how to design search user interfaces for children have been proposed and discussed. They contribute in different ways to the achievement of the overall main goal: the development of interactive systems for information search for children as a targeted user group with special focus on the user interface. The work is summarised in Section 10.1. Section 10.2 points out the main contributions of this thesis. But while arguably significant steps have been taken, the problem is still only partially solved. Section 10.3 discusses limitations of the proposed approaches and points out directions of future research.
