초록

According to rapid growth of a web environment, usage-centered design is being highlighted. This paper suggests the development step and algorithm to generate a user interface prototype automatically on the basis of usage-centered design. For this purpose, The transition object of the user interface is modeled from requirement analysis, and an modeling rule as well as algorithms of business events are made for the creation of the user interface. Through these processes, visual cohesions of business events become strong and unskilled designers can develop the qualified user interface prototypes. A user's understanding of business tasks can also be improved and prototype iterations reduced.

웹 환경의 급성장에 따른 애플리케이션의 사용성 중심설계가 부각되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용성 중심설계를 기반으로 사용자 인터페이스의 프로토타입을 자동으로 생성하기 위한 개발 단계와 알고리즘을 제안한다. 즉, 요구분석으로부터 사용자 인터페이스의 전이 객체를 모델링하고, 사용자 인터페이스를 생성하기 위한 비즈니스 이벤트의 추상화 모델링 규칙과 알고리즘을 만들었다. 이것은 사용자 인터페이스에서 비즈니스 이벤트들의 가시적 응집도를 높일 수 있고, 미숙한 설계자도 양질의 사용자 인터페이스의 프로토타입을 개발할 수 있도록 지원한다. 또한, 사용자가 인터페이스에 대한 비즈니스 업무의 이해도를 향상시키고, 프로토타이핑의 반복 횟수를 줄일 수 있다.
