MENUDA: a knowledge-based menu-design expert system

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:6437576
A User-Menu Interface Reference Model (UMIRM) was first developed to provide a generic, structured construct to organize knowledge of menu-system design from available literature, and it served as a paradigm for the development of the MENUDA system. The user, the menu system, and the interaction between the user and the system were analyzed and characterized within this model. The MENUDA system was developed in an incremental and systematic fashion within the framework of the UMIRM. The knowledge base and the user interface of the MENUDA system were developed under an interactive microcomputer environment supported by an expert-system building tool, Texas Instruments Personal Consultant Plus (PC Plus). The inference engine of the MENUDA system was provided by PC Plus. The knowledge base of the current MENUDA system was divided into the following three modules with one or more frames in each module: (1) Alternative Interface Dialogue Analysis Module, (2) Inter-Frame Menu Structure Analysis Module, and (3) Menu Breadth and Depth Analysis Module.
