Model derivation principles for specification and design of multi-platform HCI
Résumé
The design of the interfaces and the mechanisms of
interaction in the information systems, still pose problems and
requires as well design methods as realization tools. One of these
problems exists in the multitude of reception platforms for such
applications. The modelisation complexity requires the use of
approaches being based on the theoretical contributions of new
formal methods, such as TOOD, considering the data, the
distributed tasks and the multi-user aspect while ensuring the
independence of the target platform. In order to improve the
portability of the interactive applications, and more particularly,
the portability of their HCI (Human-Computer Interface), our
research work aims to ensure an adaptability of the HCI to the
interaction resources basing on specifications independent of the
interaction devices. For that, we plan to define the specifications
in a marker language (of XML type) to establish a multiple code
(C++, JAVA...) and multi-platform (Palm, mobile Telephone, and
if possible a whole of future communication devices) generation.
