@techreport{R-90-15, TITLE = {A Knowledge-Based Tool for User Interface Evaluation and its Integration in a UIMS}, AUTHOR = {Jonas L{\"o}wgren and Tommy Nordqvist}, YEAR = {1990}, NUMBER = {R-90-15}, INSTITUTION = ida, ADDRESS = idaaddr, ABSTRACTURL = {/publications/cgi-bin/tr-fetch.pl?r-90-15+abstr}, ABSTRACT = {This paper describes and discusses a knowledge-based user interface evaluation tool, based on the critiquing paradigm. The tool uses knowledge acquired from experts and from collections of guidelines to evaluate a formal description of a user interface design, generating comments as well as suggesting improvements. After describing the system architecture and reporting some experiences, the paper focuses on the possibility of incorporating a knowledge-based design tool in a User Interface Management System (UIMS), making it possible to give constructive advice to the designer as well as comments. We report some preliminary results from a project aimed at this integration.}, IDANR = {LiTH-IDA-R-90-15}, NOTE = {Also in Proc. of Interact'90, Cambridge, UK, August 27-31, 1990 and will appear in the August issue of Computational Intelligence}
