Providing high-level control and expert assistance in the user interface presentation design

摘要: Current user interface builders provide only low-level assistance, because they have knowledge of neither the application, nor principles by which elements are combined effectively. We developed a framework that unites components essential for effective presentation design. The consists an application model (both data and control model), design process supports top-down iterative development, graphic is used both to place dialog box such their dependent logical relationships visually reinforced symmetry balance. To demonstrate framework's viability, we constructed tool based on encapsulated establishes high-level style preferences provides expert assistance menu structuring.
