Template-based Extensible Prototyping for Creativity- and Usability-Oriented Knowledge Systems Development.
Martina Freiberg, Frank Puppe · 2012
Abstract. In knowledge-based systems (KBS) development, there still is a lack of research regarding user interface (UI) design and (usability) evaluation. Thus, especially KBS UIs still often are developed in a rather ad hoc manner, lacking reusability of proven solutions and potentially valuable experimentation with design alternatives and their thorough evaluation. We propose the tailored KBS prototyping and engineering tool ProKEt for practically supporting Template-based Extensible Prototyping, a technique for more efficient, affordable, and UI design/usability evaluation oriented KBS development. Further, we report current projects where both the approach and the tool provided valuable support.
