Abstract

Task modelling has proven useful as a basis for user interfaces (IU) design. Although different models have been pushed ConcurTaskTrees (CTT) notation has become without any doubt the most extended notation for task model specification. However, this notation suffers from a lack of modularity, making the creation and modification of real-world applications a cumbersome process. In this paper a notation that takes inspiration from CTT is described that allows for the specification of the tasks the user is supposed to perform through the user interface and the dialog between the user and the user interface in an intuitive manner. Furthermore, the notation makes use of an abstract operation set to help in the automatic or semi-automatic generation of a user interface that conforms with the specified model.
