Abstract

This full-day tutorial introduces a seamless development approach for user interface generation, based on the user-centered Groupware Task Analysis GTA, and the task-based design technique and tool TADEUS (Task Analysis / Design / End User Systems). The seamless procedure ensures (i) for the developers consistency and semantic richness throughout analysis and design, and (ii) for end users context-sensitive and immediate feedback of analysis and design inputs through prototyping from analysis/design representations. The tutorial is held in participatory style and introduces the background, goals, experiences, methodology to be followed, methods and tools to use. It also provides hand-on experiences with existing tools to be used along the lines of development. The methodology will be explained and experienced along one or more projects the participants will identify and specify according to their interest and profile.

Designing user interfaces from analyses of users' tasks
CHI EA '97: CHI '97 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

This tutorial provides a detailed introduction to task analysis and task-based design. The focus of task analysis is the description of work tasks, while the focus of task-based design is designing interactive systems from the perspective of users' ...
Participatory task modelling: users and developers modelling users' tasks and domains
TAMODIA '04: Proceedings of the 3rd annual conference on Task models and diagrams

Participatory Task Modelling (PTM) is an approach to systems development that combines the strengths of the task analysis and participatory design traditions. This paper briefly reviews the strengths and weaknesses of standard participatory design and ...
Task-based design revisited
EICS '09: Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGCHI symposium on Engineering interactive computing systems

This paper investigates the role of task modeling in model-based design. It is shown that task models are mainly used to support a specification-driven design process. Models about current task situations and more specific task descriptions play a ...
