Extending and Evaluating a Pattern Language for Safety-Critical User Interfaces

چکیده
This paper describes the extension and evaluation of Hussey’s pattern language for safety-critical user interface development [Hussey and Mahemoff, 1999]. The patterns were updated and new patterns were added by examining existing medical systems. The new patterns were found by generating problem definitions from perceived exemplary solutions. This method of pattern development and its application is described. A qualitative evaluation of the pattern language was performed by designing a safety-critical user interface for a hypothetical radiation therapy machine. Discussion of the design process focuses on the usefulness of our patterns as a design tool for safety-critical user interfaces.

Design patterns have been widely touted as a potential solution to the diiculty of expressing and sharing software design expertise. Patterns have also recently been suggested as a basis for capturing the characteristics of \usable" user-interfaces. We propose that patterns may also be useful for guiding development of human-machine interfaces for safety-critical systems. We consider usability ...

متن کاملUser Interfaces for On-Line Diagram Recognition
The user interface is critical to the success of a diagram recognition system. It is difficult to define precise goals for a user interface, and even more difficult to quantify performance of a user interface. In this paper, we discuss some of the many research questions related to user interfaces in diagram recognition systems. We relate experiences we have gathered during the construction of ...
