REPRESENTATION OF HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION BY MEANS OF BEHAVIOR RULES

This article proposes the application of techniques from knowledge eng ineering to the development of graphic interfaces. The current paradig m of knowledge-based systems is rooted in features such as declarative representation of knowledge, design modularity and independence betwe en data, knowledge, and control. The main advantage of this approach w ith respect to conventional programming techniques is that the increme ntal development of interfaces, as well as their modification and main tenance, is made easier. We present a human-machine interaction techni que that seeks a compromise between simplicity and expressive power.
