Abstract

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is concerned with developing computer-based systems which help people undertake their work or other activities and which demonstrate a high degree of usability. Both the process of development and the various products which are produced during development are critical to the success of the final human-computer system (Hix and Hartson, 1993; Preece, et al., 1994). Within HCI there is an increasing awareness of the importance of developing abstract representations - or models - of the area of activity which is to be the subject of the system. Such a representation is known as a domain model, or an application model.
