TACTICS for User Interface Design: Coupling the Compositional and Transformational Approach

نویسنده

چکیده

The paper describes TACTICS, the model and a modelbased tool capable of supporting a wide range of design decisions and providing assistance in the design process. The TACTICS tool automatically generates a user interface for an application and assists in refining it and in detecting and resolving design inconsistencies. The TACTICS model of human-computer interaction integrates a compositional model of UIs and a transformational model of the UI design space. A user interface is viewed as a composition of primitives structured based on the application and on the desired dialogue style, and the model identifies user interface components and structuring principles for assembling components into a coherent interface. The model also defines transformations that modify UI structures to achieve a desired look-and-feel and enable designers to easily explore different UI designs. The paper describes the knowledge structure of the model and the TACTICS approach to generating user interfaces. UI components are discussed and examples of UI structures given.
