This paper addresses the challenge of efficiently representing and communicating decisions about humancomputer interaction to collaborate with software engineers. It describes and illustrates in a case study how an interaction modeling language based on the semiotic engineering of human-computer interaction may be used to derive a skeleton of certain UML diagrams, namely: use case, class, and sequence diagrams. Our goal is to provide a clear representation of the interactive exchanges that may take place, in order to prevent human-computer interaction decisions to be lost or inadvertently overruled when designing the system architecture and internal functional behavior.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
