Paper Abstract:
|
On this paper we describe a process that we have created that allows identifying the set of complex components that the user interface can have at different abstraction level. More abstraction means fewer components for the same functionality, but each of them more complex. The concept of abstraction is related here with the level of detail on the set of changes between states produced by an user event. Successive refinement of the process gives us different level of grouping, when considering user events. We show here an early result of this research: a) the objective and automated way to discover the number of complex components that an interface designer may use for code it and b) what are the simple/complex components that could be part of them. Is showed also how the complexity of designing visual user interfaces using state diagrams is reduced when complex components are used. |
