@techreport{R-87-26, TITLE = {Applying a Rapid Prototyping System to Control Panel Dialogues}, AUTHOR = {Jonas L{\"o}wgren}, YEAR = {1987}, NUMBER = {R-87-26}, INSTITUTION = ida, ADDRESS = idaaddr, ABSTRACTURL = {/publications/cgi-bin/tr-fetch.pl?r-87-26+abstr}, ABSTRACT = {In this paper, a rapid prototyping system called IDEN (for Interface Design ENvironment) is presented. This is a system for prototyping the physical part of a user interface (e. g. button panels, trackballs, graphic or text displays etc.) as well as the dialogue part. The results of the evaluation of IDEN by prototyping a part of a large application are discussed. We find some problems with IDEN in particular and rapid prototyping systems in general, as well as some interesting prospects of developing IDEN into more than a rapid prototyping system. Among these prospects are the areas of user training and automatic documentation generation.}, IDANR = {LiTH-IDA-R-87-26}
