Requirements for Applying Simulation-Based Automated Usability Evaluation to Model-Based Adaptive User Interfaces for Smart Environments

Predicting task execution times by deriving enhanced cognitive models from user interface development models

“…When applying AUE to the development of model-based adaptive UIs, there are specific requirements that need to be addressed [23]. Basically, this involves making information about the application, the context of use, the user, and the task accessible to the specific AUE approach.…”

“…For this reason, the task model of the application does not suffice alone. This is due to the fact that the evaluation with CogTool relies heavily on the interaction logic of the application in combination with UI surface information, such as type, label, size, and position of UI elements (see [23]). Consequently, the approach needs to provide means for deriving this UI information and -as equally important -a simulation component to extract required interaction paths.…”
