An Interactive Graphical User Interface to the Telematics Systems Modelling Framework Simon Cooper CSCE Research Group the University of Derby 6th July, 1998
Overview • Aims of Project • Background Research • GUI Design Considerations • GUI Prototype • Future Work
Aims of Project • Develop set of GUI Interface Modules • Build a Front-end to the Telematics Systems Modelling Framework • Integrated Environment • Visualise Information and Offer Functionality provided by Modelling Framework Modules and Applications • Interactively Design and Visualise Configuration of Telematics Systems
Background Research • Telematics Systems / Technology • Existing Projects / Systems • Co-Designer • DE-ACE • Schemebuilder • ADECT • Basic Support for Cooperative Work (BSCW)
GUI Design Considerations - 1 • Re-Configurable / Extendable • Iterative Systems Development • Adaptable to different users’ (evolving) needs • Interactivity • With the User • With the Modelling Framework • With other Applications
GUI Design Considerations - 2 • Ease of Use • Integrating Information from many perspectives / applications, so : • Needs a “Common-feel” • Avoid “Information-overload” • Ideally Provide Platform Independence • Java • WxWindows
Future Work • Iteratively Develop GUI Prototype • Feedback from the end-users (their requirements) • Interfaces to Framework Modules • Establish and Specify Information Exchange • Configuration Tools • Modelling and Viewing the Physical, Behavioural and Functional Interfaces between Telematics Sub-systems
