An Intelligent Tool for the Design of Presentations: A System Identification Study

Abstract : This report summarizes a study to identify the appropriate role of knowledge based technology in the design of user-computer interfaces and to assess the suitability of the published human factors design guidelines as a source of interface design knowledge. In addition to specific recommendations in these areas, the report incorporates a literature review of the following topics: the development of knowledge-based systems, rules-of-thumb concerning the types of problems to which knowledge-based systems have been successfully applied, the general nature of design problem solving, interface design methods, the use of human factors guidelines in interface design, and the state-of-the- art in interface design support tools. Keywords: Man computer interface, Artificial intelligence, Human factors. (edc)
