Encapsulating knowledge for intelligent automatic interaction objects selection
Jean M. Vanderdonckt, François Bodart · 1993
TRIDENT is a set of interactive tools that automatically generates a user interface for highly-interactive business-oriented applications. It includes an intelligent interaction objects selection based on three different concepts. First, an object oriented typology classifies abstract interaction objects to allow a presentation independent selection. Se-cond, guidelines are translated into automatic rules to select abstract interaction objects from both an application data model and a dialog model. Third, these guidelines are en-capsulated in a decision tree technique to make the reaso-ning obvious to the user. This approach guarantees a target environment independent user interface. Once this specified, abstract interaction objects are mapped into concrete interaction objects to produce the observable interface.
