KnowUI (also known as KnowiXML)
KnowUI/KnowiXML is a Knowledge-Based System that represents the knowledge of the interface designers. This system possesses the features of interactivity, so that the user can have an explanation of the results produced, thus improving the understanding and acceptance of the proposed interface. Furthermore, the system allows for its knowledge base to be modified. We applied the proposed method to generate an abstract user interface for a system of email control and for a system of simulation of criminal activity.
This software is part of a larger process, herein referred to as IKnowU.
