UMLi is an extension of UML, and adds support for representation commonly occurring in user interfaces.. Because application models in UML describe few aspects of user interfaces, and because the model-based user interface development environments (MB-UIDE) lack ability for modeling applications, the University of Manchester started the research project UMLi in 1998.
A User Interface Management System (UIMS) is a mechanism for cleanly separating process or business logic from Graphical user interface (GUI) code in a computer program. [1] UIMS are designed to support N-tier architectures by strictly defining and enforcing the boundary between the business logic and the GUI.
Compared to UX design, UI design is more about the surface and overall look of a design. User interface design is a craft in which designers perform an important function in creating the user experience. UI design should keep users informed about what is happening, giving appropriate feedback in a timely manner.
User interface (UI) design is the process of making interfaces in software or computerized devices with a focus on looks or style. Designers aim to create designs users will find easy to use and pleasurable. UI design typically refers to graphical user interfaces but also includes others, such as voice-controlled ones. [37]
The structure principle: Design should organize the user interface purposefully, in meaningful and useful ways based on clear, consistent models that are apparent and recognizable to users, putting related things together and separating unrelated things, differentiating dissimilar things and making similar things resemble one another. The ...
User-centered design (UCD) or user-driven development (UDD) is a framework of processes in which usability goals, user characteristics, environment, tasks and workflow of a product, service or process are given extensive attention at each stage of the design process.
It is used to understand how people interact with products and evaluate whether design solutions meet their needs. [2] This field of research aims at improving the user experience (UX) of products, services, or processes [3] by incorporating experimental and observational research [4] methods to guide the design, development, and refinement of ...
In interaction design, PACT (an acronym for People, Activities, Contexts, Technologies) is a structure used to analyse with whom, what and where a user interact with a user interface. [1] Interaction is considered, in this framework, as a relationship between people, activities, contexts, and technologies. [2]
