Resumen:
This work presents and discusses the application of a navigation model to support the
analysis of computer-user interfaces. This model, built in Colored Petri Nets (CPN),
presents a generic structure conceived in order to support the usability evaluation of the
user interfaces navigation component. The application context is that of supervisory
control systems for industrial plants.
The study was developed in two phases. In the first phase, a model originally
proposed in [40, 41], was used to represent an industrial plant, having been adjusted to
this new context. In the second phase, the model was extended to represent the temporal
behavior of the navigation component in order to represent actions with temporal
restrictions such as alarm treatment.
Do trabalho conclui-se que o modelo de navegação adotado se adequou aos
propósitos do estudo e ao contexto da interface de sistemas industriais. Conclui-se
também que a utilização deste modelo é valiosa na análise da usabilidade de sistemas, do
ponto de vista da navegação.
From this work it was concluded that the navigation model, is adequate for the
navigation analysis as well as to the industrial context, and that the proposed extension
made feasible the representation of the industrial system's interface behavior. It was also
concluded that the use of the model approach is valuable in the analysis of the usability of
these systems, from the viewpoint of navigation.
