EB2000: a Structured Approach to the creation of e-book
No full textTaking into account that the new capabilities of modern e-book readers can manage a lot of media such as audio, video and allow an excellent interaction with the user than could add a comments or bookmarks, activate applet such as test or example in a educational e-book, the e-book could be considered as a real hypermedia document with strong interaction with its reader. Until now, unfortunately, the e-book has been seen as a transposition of the paper model onto a digital one, aiming to reduce the time and costs of distribution; thus the author has no incentive to rethink the content for the potential offered by the electronic medium. The task is no longer to provide a form of mediation between digital support and traditional book, but to reinterpret [1] [2] the modalities of spread of knowledge.
Here presents an attempt, using W2000 methodology [3][4] to arrive at a structured approach to design that place the authors at the center of the process. Using this analysis we present EB2000, a new web-based authoring tool in which the authors can create specific e-book content, cooperate with other author or third parties for multimedia content, and to publishing the complete e-book in standard format
A Knowledge-Driven Framework for User Experience Modelling and Prototyping
No full textThe reference context in which companies operate is often characterized by a high level of complexity. Any attempt aimed to represent such complexity can be facilitated by referring to appropriate semantic knowledge bases, able to structure the domain concepts along with the relationships between them. Such consideration can be particularly applied to the Model-Driven designing phases of a software system, and especially within the User eXperience – UX – modelling process. In effect, the UX modelling is becoming more and more dominant, even with the advent of Rich Internet Applications - RIAs. They represent particular web applications that are capable to provide features and functionalities of traditional desktop applications.
This paper introduces a Knowledge-Driven framework for the UX engineering process based on the interaction with a domain knowledge base, along with a prototype generator. Such framework is obtained by extending and by adapting an existing one, the IDM Editor, which performs the UX reengineering of a legacy application, using the methodology Interactive Dialogue Model - IDM
MIGROS: A Model-Driven Transformation Approach of the User Experience of Legacy Applications
No full textModel-driven engineering is a promising approach for the modernization of legacy applications, but there are still many issues to address, especially to obtain automatic refactoring of the User Experience (UX) of existing applications applying modern interaction paradigms as Rich Internet Applica-tion (RIA). The MIGROS tool tries to solve the hurdles for the model-driven modernization of the UX of legacy application (as implemented in Cobol CICS, Visual Basic, Power Builder, etc.). It is designed upon a set of well-known methods in the web engineering field. It is implemented as a set of Eclipse plug-ins that support reverse engineering and model transformation exploiting the OMG Architecture-Driven Modernization (ADM) technology
