This paper introduces a Dimension Space describing the entities making up richly interactive systems. The Dimension Space is intended to help designers understand both the physical and virtual entities from which their systems are built, and the tradeoffs involved in both the design of the entities themselves and of the combination of these entities in a physical space. Entities are described from the point of view of a person carrying out a task at a particular time, in terms of their attention received, role, manifestation, input and output capacity and informational density. The Dimension Space is applied to two new systems developed at Grenoble, exposing design tradeoffs and design rules for richly interactive systems.

“…Connecting typical software engineering processes with UCD processes has been an ongoing challenge tackled by many researchers to date [4,5,6]. The gap between interface design and engineering interactive systems is mainly a matter of "design" language differences: an interface designer uses different artifacts than a software engineer.…”

“…The meets relationship indicates one scene is immediately followed by another scene, and the time progress between two scenes is virtually none. Although the most common relationships used in storyboarding are before and meets, we think parallel activities 4 MOF is an industry standard established by the Object Management Group should be supported since they are common in collaborative and multi-user activities. Defining more precise temporal relationships between scenes, allows us to exploit them later on, e.g.…”

Model-driven development of user interfaces has become increasingly powerful in recent years. Unfortunately, model-driven approaches have the inherent limitation that they cannot handle the informal nature of some of the artifacts used in truly multidisciplinary user interface development such as storyboards, sketches, scenarios and personas. In this chapter, we present an approach and tool support for multidisciplinary user interface development bridging informal and formal artifacts in the design and development process. Key features of the approach are the usage of annotated storyboards, which can be connected to other models through an underlying meta-model, and cross-toolkit design support based on an abstract user interface model.

“…More recent model-based systems (e.g. (Elnaffar and Graham, 1999;Stirewalt, 1999;Eisenstein and Puerta, 1998;Brown et al, 1998), and experimental results in (Limbourg et al, 2000)) have recognised the importance of providing generalised mechanisms for specifying mappings between their models, and therefore bene®t from the improved functionality and¯exibility such mechanisms provide. A further related issue is the degree to which such mappings can be automatically generated.…”

Model-based user interface development environments show promise for improving the productivity of user interface developers, and possibly for improving the quality of developed interfaces. While model-based techniques have previously been applied to the area of database interfaces, they have not been speci®cally targeted at the important area of object database applications. Such applications make use of models that are semantically richer than their relational counterparts in terms of both data structures and application functionality. In general, model-based techniques have not addressed how the information referenced in such applications is manifested within the described models, and is utilised within the generated interface itself. This lack of experience with such systems has led to many model-based projects providing minimal support for certain features that are essential to such data intensive applications, and has prevented object database interface developers in particular from bene®ting from model-based techniques. This paper presents the Teallach model-based user interface development environment for object databases, describing the models it supports, the relationships between these models, the tool used to construct interfaces using the models and the generation of Java programs from the declarative models. Distinctive features of Teallach include comprehensive facilities for linking models, a¯exible development method, an open architecture, and the generation of running applications based on the models constructed by designers.
