A Development Environment and Methodology for the Design of Work-Centered User Interface Systems
Work Centered Support System design represents an approach to the development of user interface application as an integrated, multi-faceted active and passive aiding system. Several successful instances of WCSSs have been developed using largely labor-intensive hand analysis and software coding methods. Here we describe a well-formed analysis, design, and implementation development environment, called the WIL Application Toolkit (WAT), as a work-centered development support aid for one type of WCSSs. The design principles and architectural properties of the WAT are discussed in the context of a design methodology. These aiding tools for interface system development is expected to improve WCSS design, shorten develop time, and improve sustainability of released interface products.
