	abstract = {<p>This paper presents a catalog of smells in the context of interactive applications. These so-called usability smells are indicators of poor design on an application{\textquoteright}s user interface, with the potential to hinder not only its usability but also its maintenance and evolution. To eliminate such usability smells we discuss a set of program/usability refactorings. In order to validate the presented usability smells catalog, and the associated refactorings, we present a preliminary empirical study with software developers in the context of a real open source hospital management application. Moreover, a tool that computes graphical user interface behavior models, giving the applications{\textquoteright} source code, is used to automatically detect usability smells at the model level.</p>
