Abstract

Many studies have addressed 'Adaptive User Interface (AUI)', wherein the user interface changes in accordance with the situation and the environment of each user at runtime. Nevertheless, previous papers for AUI barely reflected the viewpoints from requirements engineering field, since most of them focused on proposing the architecture and design. In this study, we outline AUI with the perspective of requirements engineering and propose the requirements elicitation and specification method based on concepts which have been researched in the area of self-adaptive system. Step by step, we first redefine and reinterpret the well-known concepts of self-adaptive software, after which the AUI requirements are elicited and specified. Finally, we illustrate a case study, which demonstrates the effectiveness of our method.

사용자 및 기기의 상황을 파악하고 이에 따라 실시간으로 사용자 인터페이스를 변경하는 '적응형 사용자 인터페이스 (Adaptive User Interface)' 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 기존 관련 연구들은 주로 설계 방법론에 초점을 맞추고 있으며, 요구공학 방법론에 대해서는 거의 다루어지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 적응형 사용자 인터페이스를 요구공학 관점에서 조명하고, 자가 적응 시스템 분야에서 연구되어 온 개념들에 기초한 요구사항 도출 및 명세 방법을 제안한다. 잘 알려진 자가 적응 소프트웨어 개념들을 재정의 및 해석한 후, 적응형 사용자 인터페이스 요구사항을 도출 및 명세하는 방법을 단계적으로 보인다. 사례연구에서는 제안하는 방법에 따라 적응형 사용자 인터페이스 요구사항을 도출 및 명세하여 본 기법이 효과적임을 보인다.
