Multilevel modelling and design of visual interactives systems

摘要

Designers of interactive computer-based artefacts need to specify their products with respect to both the artefact's external behaviour and to its internal one. In order to manage the complexity of the design and the implementation process, we introduce a 3D Interaction Modelling Space that takes into account the different levels at which the computer internal activities, the messages on the screen, and the user activities are specified. Multilevel modelling helps to consistently design and implement interactive systems.
