Abstract

In this paper we describe a multi-criteria approach in which the execution of its steps integrated to a Software Development Process (SDP) allow the generation of the User Interface (UI) Definition Plan, which is an artifact used for UI design of software. This approach applies techniques from Operational Research (OR), and from Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), considering diverse criteria (functional and non functional requirements) that have an impact on the interaction design and using usability patterns, respectively. In this text, its main goal was to identify the order of attractiveness of a list of usability patterns for a certain interactive task of Digital TV (DTV) applications, thus allowing the selection of the most appropriate pattern in this new communication resource.
