“…• While there seems a great level of agreement over the basics of a notation for the task model, the ConcurTaskTrees notation is used (and extended) in several approaches [5,11,28], there is still some work to see whether and how to integrate context information in the task notation. Should this be left for tool support and the underlying notation or made explicit in the graphical representation?…”

Model-based design of user interfaces can be a viable alternative for other user interface specifications especially in the case of multi-platform and even more so in the case of context-sensitive interactive applications. In this paper we look at several notations used in model-based design methodologies and analyze them according to requirements we determined for the notations. In order to get an overview of how well different approaches are able to support the design context-sensitive interactive applications, we determine a set of models that are relevant for this type of applications and organize them visually in such a way that the level of support for different models and the relations between them could be shown adequately. Several notations used for model-based design of user interface or interactive systems were evaluated using these criteria. The resulting information was used to determine areas where work is needed to design better notations for the involved.

“…The Dialogue Graph Editor [2], a tool developed at the University of Rostock, provides a more complex simulation than the basic simulator found in The windows and buttons generated by Dialogue Graph Editor for simulation purposes are considered to be abstract interface prototypes. However, clicking buttons to perform tasks does not seem to provide much of an advantage over the basic simulators, and at times might be more confusing.…”

Abstract. Interaction Templates were previously introduced as a method to help ease the construction of ConcurTaskTrees. In this paper, a language for defining Interaction Templates, the Interaction Template Definition Language, is introduced. This paper also demonstrates how Interaction Templates can be used to enhance task model simulation, allowing users to interact with concrete user interface components while simulating task models. A prototype task model simulator illustrates how Interaction Templates can be used in task model simulation.

“…In addition, preconditions of sub-tasks and their effects on task-domain objects can be specified. In [8], we have shown that such a hybrid notation often leads to more concise and, possibly, to more natural descriptions than pure temporal notations (like CTT models) or pure state descriptions. In Fig.…”

Abstract. This paper argues for a transfer of knowledge and experience gained in task-based design to Software Engineering. A transformation of task models into activity diagrams as part of UML is proposed. By using familiar notations, software engineers might be encouraged to accept task modelling and to pay more attention to users and their tasks. Generally, different presentations of a model can help to increase its acceptance by various stakeholders. The presented approach allows both the visualization of task models as activity diagrams as well as task modelling with activity diagrams. Corresponding tool support is presented which includes the animation of task models. The tool itself was developed in a model-based way.
