Towards a linguistic modeling of graphical user interfaces: Eliciting modeling requirements

The aim of our research is to model graphical user interfaces from a linguistic perspective: a linguistic point of view to graphical user interfaces. The linguistic model aims at enhancing adaptability by enhancing two quality properties: the traceability and the maintainability. The linguistic perspective is based on the linguistic classification originally proposed by Nielsen and consists of several linguistic levels. This paper elaborates on the linguistic perspective to elicit modeling requirements per level. Our contribution is a set of modeling requirements on each level.

This result is an increasingly recognized need to deal with new and unexpected risks and issues such as social exclusion. Diverse advanced technologies were aimed to support learning activity from different perspectives with multiple strategies. However, despite the significant amount of work and explored technology, several common risks pop up due to user's vulnerability to diverse risks such as negative screen effects. Accordingly, there is still plenty of room for improvement in this regard. To address these vulnerabilities and gaps, this paper aims at identifying issues and challenges improving the technology applied for Autism Spectrum Disorders and autistics dedicated applications. It put forward requirements and design decisions supporting safe autistic dedicated interaction with regards to ISO31000 risk management process.

This perspective is based on Nielsen's Virtual Protocol for Interaction that consists of several linguistic levels: goal, pragmatic (task), semantic, syntactical, lexical, alphabetical and physical. A linguistic modeling is modeling the graphical interface by abstracting each linguistic level. The aim of the linguistic modeling is to enhance the maintainability quality of the graphical user interface model as defined in ISO-25010:2011, by enhancing sub-qualities of modularity, analyzability and modifiability. Recent research reported on the linguistic perspective and the linguistic modeling requirements. In this paper, we elaborate more towards a linguistic modeling by modeling the task level; the high abstract level in the linguistic stack. Our contribution is an executable hierarchical task model that fulfils the specific needs towards linguistic modeling.

This shortcoming is common and repetitive for GUI and necessitates further considerations with the growing complexity of interactive systems. However most of works addressing adaptation capitalize on design-time and predefined rules, which do not always meet real users preferences and expectations during use. WiSel is a tool-supported approach based on our framework for supporting Intelligent Agile Runtime Adaptation. It consists on a mixing of both knowledge-based (adaptive) and user-drived (adaptable) UI customization. Both adaptation behaviors work together on considering runtime end-users preferences to improve adaptation of interaction object at runtime. We investigated how end-users involvement can improve widget selection and enhance the user satisfaction. A preliminary pilot study was conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of our approach and its impact on usability in term of controllability, transparency and predictability.

Today the significant heterogeneity of contexts of use, given mainly by the diversity of devices and the easier access to technology, enables an interaction from many distinct environments and covers different application domains and users' profiles. However the majority of the applications currently available still rely in a conventional context of use, ie an able-bodied user, with a Desktop ...

considered as a potentially important factor of their usability. A fair amount of research has
been conducted to identify and help developing advanced adaptations in order to streamline
interaction with systems. However, it has to be noted that adaptations could have an adverse
impact when it does not meet users expectations. Thereby 'Context-awareness' as well as
'user-centeredness' become more crucial to improve the quality of interaction as well as ...

Hence, in 1999 Thevenin brought a new concept: the plasticity of interfaces [16]. The plasticity is defined as the capacity of a user interface to adapt to the context of use while preserving usability.

It allows the integration of the various users to reach the objectives of the organization. The users operate their Information Systems through the User Interfaces (UI). Therefore there is a need to take into account the workflow model in the development process of the UI for an Information System. This paper has two objectives to attain. The first one is the proposition of a model driven approach to derive a plastic UIs of a Workflow Information System. The second objective lies in the use of Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) for the modelling of the interaction models (Task Model, Abstract User Interface, Concrete User Interface) with the aim of supplying more adapted models for a business expert who represents a main candidate in the success of the organization. It is through a case study applied to a real information system that our approach proves to be reliable.
