Abstract

Designing the architecture of a graphical user interface requires the distribution of content - tools and materials - across interaction spaces. The provision of tool support for designing interface architecture at an abstract level is explored in this paper through the development of a tool to support this activity within Usage-Centred Design (UCD). UCD is based on the development of several abstract models, plus a mapping to the visual design of the user interface. Interface Architect is a modelling tool which supports the creation of the UCD content model, incorporating canonical abstract components.
