MEDITE+: utilizando o processo de roteirização para a obtenção do modelo de interação EDITOR estendido.

Abstract

The general aim of this dissertation is to define a new methodology on conception and development of human-computer interfaces – MEDITE+ – as a variant of the MEDITE methodology, through the introduction of the scripting process for obtaining an interaction model. The introduction of this new approach turns possible (i) the automation on the obtaining process of a partial conceptual interaction specification from the task modelling, and (ii) the automatic maintenance of the coherence between task and interaction models. The introduction of this new approach in MEDITE implied a division of the obtaining process of a partial conceptual interaction specification into two sub-processes: scripting model generation from the task model; and partial conceptual interaction specification generation from the scripting model. For the introduction of this division it was necessary the extension on the EDITOR interaction model (modelo EDITOR Estendido) and the definition of a formalism for its representation. The improvements mentioned above allowed the automatic generation of the partial conceptual interaction specification from the task model elements and the interaction model presentation component elements.
