Abstract

Every interactive system needs a user interface, today possibly even several ones adapted for different devices (PCs, PDAs, mobile phones). Developing a user interface is difficult and takes a lot of effort, since it normally requires design and implementation. This is also expensive, and even more so for several user interfaces for different devices. This tutorial shows how human-computer interaction can be based on discourse modeling, even without employing speech or natural language. Our discourse models are derived from results of Human Communication theories, Cognitive Science and Sociology. Such discourse models can specify an interaction design. This tutorial also demonstrates how such an interaction design can be used for model-driven generation of user interfaces and linking them to the application logic and the domain of discourse.
