Abstract

In this live demonstration we present the Visual Task Model Builder (VTMB) tool [1]. Using this tool the user can create and modify rich task models, containing a hierarchical task structure, temporal relations between tasks, conditions of task execution, and objects involved while performing a task. Based on precise semantics the model can be simulated for validation with the future user and the user interface designer. Additionally, it provides the basis for the transformation of the task model into a working dialogue model.

Tool support for task-based user interface design
CHI EA '99: CHI '99 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

It is generally accepted today, that knowledge about the tasks the user has to fulfill with a computer system, plays an important role in the design process. The more knowledge about the user tasks is available during design time the more it can be ...
