A Human-Computer Collaboration Paradigm For Bridging Design Conceptualization And Implementation

  • Conference paper
Interactive Systems: Design, Specification, and Verification

Part of the book series: Focus on Computer Graphics ((FOCUS COMPUTER))

Abstract

In this paper, we describe a human-computer collaborative environment called MIDAS that defines a new division of labor between human designers and computers. The environment leverages the strengths of both collaborative parties, while compensating for their weaknesses and smoothing the transition from higher level design abstraction to lower level design activities and implementation. The environment has the following tangible features: (a) it lets designers explicitly express their conceptual design intentions and helps them map the high-level intentions into interface implementations; (b) it lets human designers control design decisions and handles a pyramid of details for them during design; and (c) it provides flexible work and control flow for opportunistic design.
