- Abstract
- This chapter describes that the availability of guideline knowledge is not enough in order to provide helpful and efficient information to the agents involved in the design process of an interactive application. By showing the different points of view of those agents towards the user interface (UI), the chapter explains why it is so difficult to provide relevant and easy to use information. The chapter describes two different projects addressing the question—first question aims at evaluating and proposing solutions for the improvement of the interactive applications previously developed, while the second question aims at providing a set of tools for the automated design of interactive applications taking into account guidelines for user interface design. Coupling automated UI generation and evaluation is considered as a key future work: it is sound to evaluate a particular UI that have been automatically generated with the same ergonomic criteria and guidelines that have been used to produce it.
