A model based approach to semi-automated user interface generation for process control interactive applications
Résumé
The purpose of this paper is the description of a model-based approach (called ERGO-CONCEPTOR) to semi-
automated user interface generation. Its application field concerns process control interactive applications. From a
database describing the industrial process (for instance a chemical process) to be supervised, the system is able to
generate automatically UI specifications using guidelines. The specifications contain eventually, design alternatives.
They can be selected by the designer who can then interactively generate the UI. ERGO-CONCEPTOR is composed of
three main modules. The first allows an interactive process description according to three sub-models (a physical model,
a structural model and a functional model). The second module uses a knowledge-based approach for the automated
generation of the UI specification. Finally, the third module is used by the designer to interactively generate the
specified UI. © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
