Abstract
Nearly all software products have rigid and predefined interfaces.
Users are usually unable to modify or customize features beyond
cosmetic aspects. Interface adaptability is important because
aspects such as user preferences and task sequences vary widely
in engineering, even within specialized domains. A methodology
for the creation of adaptable user interfaces using model
composition is presented in this paper. User interfaces are
generated dynamically through the composition of model fragments
that are stored in a fragment library. When fragments are linked
to models of physical behavior, interface model composition
applications are likely to be easier to extend and maintain
than traditional graphical user interfaces. A prototype system
within the domain of bridge diagnosis illustrates the potential
for practical applications.
