An Architecture for Generating Intelligent Interfaces

In this paper, we propose a model called Interface Definition Model (IDM) for Intelligent User Interfaces. We also present an architecture for the development of Intelligent User Interfaces. These Object Oriented User interfaces are just not only self-controlled but also Knowledge-based. One of the salient features of this sort of UI happens to be its decision making capability, i.e., reacting dynamically according to the situations. Also, this interface happens to be application independent and can be composed with relevant programs that require identical interface behavior. Attachment of the interface to the application is done by the Interface Generator, which will be described later in the paper, upon receiving a request from the application. We call the language used to communicate the requests for interface generation as Interface Specification Language (ISL).† The user Interface Management System (UIMS) handles the tasks of managing and controlling the UI. Precisely, we propose the architectural design for the generation of an intelligent GUI and propose a model for it. The motivation for this work comes mainly from the works [ES92, Lee90, Pfa93, RW92, Tay96] and the terms Interface, User Interface, UI and GUI have been used as synonyms throughout the paper.

Building a modern UI without tools and utilities is a huge task. A faster and more economical approach is to employ the tools and methods of a suitable User Interface Management System (UIMS). The need for a UIMS arises especially when constructing a user interface that requires advanced features found on engineering workstations. The use of a UIMS can greatly reduce the effort required to produce a user interface and ensure a consistent and reliable design. In addition, a UI founded on a UIMS can be refined and extended much more readily than a UI built monolithically without a UIMS. Note, however, that the “wrong” UIMS may not be an asset. It is important to specify the UI requirements and to be sure that the UIMS meets them.
Expert System Technology: Expert System Interface
Published in Jay Liebowitz, The Handbook of Applied Expert Systems, 2019
User Interface Management Systems (UIMS) is a method that helps interface designers to cope with the ever-increasing demands on their systems. UIMS systems provide various tools to facilitate interface design and evaluation, such as action logging mechanisms, automatic code generation, maintaining consistent interface design, and supporting the complete life cycle from prototype to final application. This is accomplished by maintaining consistency within and across applications and making it easier to rapidly iterate through the implement-and-test cycle.
Computer-Based Human-Machine Interfaces for Emergency Operation

We used the ProcSee graphical user interface management system13 to implement the computer-based HMI to the HAMlab BOiling water (HAMBO) simulator. ProcSee enables any aspect of the HMI to be linked dynamically to process parameter values from the simulator. HAMBO is a near full-scope simulator based on the Swedish nuclear power plant Forsmark Unit 3, which is a late-generation ABB plant (BWR 75). At the real plant, the reactor and turbine systems are presented on panels and workstation desks. The plant computer provides simplified process displays, but the plant cannot be operated from this computer. In our simulator, we use the same signals that are available in the main control room at the simulated plant.
