Knowledge System Prototyping for Usability Engineering.
Martina Freiberg, Johannes Mitlmeier, Joachim Baumeister, Frank Puppe · LWA · 2010
Knowledge-based consultation and documentation systems are widely distributed in industrial and medical environments today. Yet, their implementation still is a tedious and costly task. Furthermore, the aspect of usability—which is in principle of critical importance for those systems—is often nearly unconsidered. We argue, that tailored UI prototyping can help to tackle both issues. Therefore, we propose a UI prototyping tool for knowledge-based systems, intended to enhance knowledge systems engineering in itself, and to foster usability engineering in that context.
