UI Design without a Task Modeling Language - Using BPMN and Diamodl for Task Modeling and DialogDesign

摘要

In the field of model-based user interface design (MB-UID) task modeling is established as a necessary activity. However, in many (industrial) contexts, it is not realistic to introduce yet another modeling notation, particularly when user interface design is considered less important than overall process logic and system architecture. Therefore, it may make more sense to adapt existing process-oriented notations to task modeling, than vice versa (adapting task modeling languages to process modeling). This paper describes our experiences with using BPMN and Diamodl for process and task modeling and dialog design, respectively.
