Object-oriented Specification and Design of User-interfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
The specifier of a user-interface describes userperceivuble functions and information organisation in an implementation independent way. The designer is concerned with both the presentation and software structure of the user-interface. The path from specification to software design can be assisted by design patterns. In this paper we examine techniquesfor specification and the design of both the presentation and software aspects of user-interfaces. We outline our research strategy towards the generation of a specification and design framework for developing userinterfaces.

Object-oriented Specification of User Interfaces
This paper presents an object-oriented approach for the specification of graphical user interfaces. Specification starts with the analysis of the end user’s operations. The user interface is then designed on the basis of this analysis. Operation analysis is followed by structure and component specification which presents the dialogue structure of the application and the contents of each dialogu...
متن کاملFormal Specification of Hci for Increasing Software's Ergonomics
This paper aims at asserting the impact of formal specifications on the ergonomics of software user interfaces. It is shown that the use of an object-oriented design methodology featuring a formal specification and integrating human factors in the design process, is the best way to ensure quality both in the software and ergonomics domain. The method we propose is based both on Petri nets and o...
متن کاملFlexible Dynamic Models for User Interfaces
This paper describes an approach for a platformand implementationindependent design of user interfaces using the UIMS idea. It is a result of a detailed examination of object-oriented techniques for program specification and implementation. This analysis leads to a description of the requirements for man-machine interaction from the software-developers point of view. On the other hand, the fina...
متن کاملConceptual User Interface Patterns for Object-Oriented Conceptual Models
Specification of user interfaces is not a trivial task and even less if we consider this specification as just an accessory of the conceptual model and not as an important component of it. Conventional object-oriented methods focus on the specification of static and dynamic properties of systems, and few or any techniques are offered to specify the semantic attached to presentation features. In...
متن کاملA software engineering perspective to the design of a user interface framework
To guide user interface construction, concepts are needed that provide a conceptual basis for modeling, abstract notation, and implementation of tools and concrete interfaces. In this paper, we discuss how general software engineering principles apply in this context. Following these principles, we have developed an object-oriented user interface framework called DIWA which consists of a design...
