“…For that purpose, Human-centered Assessment and Modeling to Support Task Engineering for Resilient Systems (HAMSTERS) [12] is a notation inspired by other existing ones for Task Modeling, especially CTT [13], and has been designed to remain compatible with it (from the point of view of people building the models) as models are hierarchical and are graphically represented featuring operators between the tasks. However, HAMSTERS includes extensions such as pre-conditions associated with task executions, data flow across Task Models, and more detailed interactive tasks.…”

Abstract. In a user-centered development process, artifacts evolve in iterative cycles until they meet users' requirements and then become the final product. Every cycle gives the opportunity to revise the design and to introduce new requirements which might affect the specification of artifacts that have been set in former development phases. Testing the consistency of multiple artifacts used to develop interactive systems every time that new requirements are introduced is a cumbersome activity, especially if it is done manually. This paper proposes an approach based on Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) to support the automated assessment of artifacts along the development process of interactive systems. The paper uses an ontology for specifying tests that can run over multiple artifacts sharing similar concepts. A case study testing Task Models, Prototypes, and Final User Interfaces is presented to demonstrate the feasibility of this approach from the early phases of the design process, providing a continuous quality assurance of requirements, and helping clients and development teams to identify potential problems and inconsistencies before commitments with software implementation are made.

“…A common basis to start with user interface specification is a task model. Concur Task Trees (CTT) [11] provides a notation for task models that can be used to derive user interfaces in subsequent steps. The User Interface eXtensible Markup Language (UsiXML) [15] describes a modeling and transformation approach from abstract to concrete user interfaces based on the Cameleon reference framework [1].…”

Abstract. We describe an approach for integrating non-automotive applications into in-car-entertainment systems while taking account of manifold personalization capabilities within a mobile environment. Adaptive user interfaces are generated for external applications using well-known interaction and personalization concepts. The interaction concepts are defined via state-based interaction models and utilized for the integration of various applications in order to guarantee a common look and feel. Context-aware adaptations of the user interfaces are achieved by supporting the process of gathering an augmented user model with a personalization concept in form of personalization guidelines. We present and discuss an exemplary application for a personalized, safe in-car HMI that automatically adapts to the targeted design and interaction concept as well as to the personal needs of the user.

Without achieving a clear understanding of the learning domain, it is difficult to develop a successful serious game that enables users to achieve the desired learning outcomes. Thus, the first step in serious game design is to establish an understandding of the particular learning domain, usually through consultation with domain experts. Whilst game design is inherently a creative process, we believe the capturing of the knowledge domain can be systematised and we present a structured approach to knowledge elicitation and representation as a basis for serious game design. We have adapted and extended the applied cognitive task analysis (ACTA) method and have combined it with additional knowledge representation frameworks. We explain how the outputs of this approach can inform the game mechanic and the development of non-player characters, and apply it to the design of a serious game aimed at reducing time-to-competence in soft project management skills for professionals working in corporate environments. A total of 26 domain experts from five different countries were involved in a two-stage interview process. The interviews yielded more than 300 task elements, and information about the cognition underlying the more challenging tasks. This data was incorporated into several representation frameworks and used to indicate features to be implemented in the game and the game mechanics of the supported features.
