MINT-Composer – A Toolchain for the Model-based Specification of Post-WIMP Interactors
نویسنده
چکیده
With the introduction of new modes to control user interfaces like speech, gesture and multi-touch Post-WIMP interfaces increasingly substitute classical WIMP (windows, icons, menus, pointer) user interfaces. In this paper, we describe a toolchain of three connected tools to design and monitor custom Post-WIMP interactors using modelbased user interface design (MBUID) methods. We use state charts and mappings as the basic modeling technique. Different to other MBUID approaches our models are get created to specify the behavior of existing widgets. These models are then used to attach further control modes and connect interactors using mappings. We explain the toolchain by an interactive music sheet web application that can be controlled by head movements to turn the sheets.

COMET(s), A Software Architecture Style and an Interactors Toolkit for Plastic User Interfaces
Plasticity of User Interfaces (UIs) refers to the ability of UIs to withstand variations of context of use () while preserving usability. This paper presents COMET, a software architecture style for building task-based plastic interactors. COMET bridges the gap between two main approaches in plasticity: model-driven engineering and interactors toolkits. Interactors ...

Tele-rehabilitation is one of the main domains where Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have been proven useful to move healthcare from care centers to patients' home. Moreover, patients, especially those carrying out a physical therapy, cannot use a traditional Window, Icon, Menu, Pointer (WIMP) system, but they need to interact in a natural way, that is, there is a need to move ...

After years of dominance, classic desktop-based WIMP (Windows, Icons, Menus, Pointer) systems are slowly being replaced by modern post-WIMP systems. Such systems do not stick to a certain user interface or interaction paradigm, but rather contain a heterogeneous set of characteristics that stem from multiple fields of research. These characteristics induce a variety of different challenges that...

j-POST is an integrated toolchain for property-oriented software testing. This toolchain includes a test designer, a test generator, and a test execution engine. The test generation is based on an original approach which consists of deriving a set of communicating test processes obtained both from a requirement formula (expressed in a trace-based logic) and a behavioral specification of some sp...
متن کاملKnowledge-Based Usability Evaluation For Reality-Based Interaction
The great variety of new (Post-WIMP) interaction styles make them difficult to evaluate and compare. We propose a new evaluation method for them, Knowledge-Based Usability Evaluation (KBUE), that is based on similar ideas to those that drive cognitive architectures, such as ACT-R and Soar. We present KBUE as a way to formally specify the knowledge in the environment and in the user’s head, and ...
