Description

One of the main design challenges is the task of selecting appropriate Graphical User Interface (GUI) elements and organizing them to meet successfully the application requirements. - How to choose and assign the basic user interface elements (so-called widgets from `window gadgets') into the single panels of interactions? - How to organize these panels to appropriate levels of the application structure? - How to map the task sequence to these application levels? - How to manage the hierarchy of this structure with respect to different user profiles? - What information is absolutely necessary, what can be left out? The answers to all these questions are the subject of this paper.
