Abstract

A methodology is described for the derivation of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) from the object model of information systems applications. User interface design starts with a conceptual user interface model consisting of data objects as well as objects related to the interactive computer application. User views of the conceptual object model are constructed according to the user's tasks. An explicit dialogue model defines the dynamics of the user interface. The coarse grain dialogue is described by a petri-net-based notation called Dialogue Nets. Our approach integrates methods and notations from software-engineering with a methodology for graphical user interface design.
