The paper presents an approach to the design of visual interactive systems that are tailored to users’ needs, preferences, culture, skills, background, but also permit users to further personalize them. The approach is based on a new conceptual model for interactive systems, and proposes a method to perform their formal design, which leads to two kinds of specification, one suitable for end users and the other suitable for software engineers. The design specifications are then directly mapped to the implementation architecture, which is based on XML technology. The discussion is carried out with reference to an example in the mechanical engineering domain.

Abstract
The paper presents an approach to the design of visual interactive systems that are tailored to users’ needs, preferences, culture, skills, background, but also permit users to further personalize them. The approach is based on a new conceptual model for interactive systems, and proposes a method to perform their formal design, which leads to two kinds of specification, one suitable for end users and the other suitable for software engineers. The design specifications are then directly mapped to the implementation architecture, which is based on XML technology. The discussion is carried out with reference to an example in the mechanical engineering domain.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
