Summary on Grant Application Form
The proposed project is designed to bring together disparate work on specification and prediction in the design of human-computer interfaces.The overal aim of the research is to enable work and domain oriented requirements to be applied to formal architectural models of user interfaces expressed in terms of a novel formulation of 'interactors'. The purpose of this is to enable the HCI designer to define and experiment with the architecture of the user interface (at an abstract level) while simultaneously investigating its temporal properties as they relate to task and domain requirements.The principle themes of the proposed research are:- to refine further the novel interactor model and to develop further theoretical results concerning its formal properties.- to enable the derivation of formal expressions of high-level work and domain oriented requirements that are applicable to and verifiable in interactor based architectural models of user interfaces- to facilitate the use of these advances within practical HCI design through the development of prototype software tools.
