The Activity Taxonomy [ATx] as an Evaluation Framework for Modeling Elements in HCI
Journal Title: Revista Romana de Interactiune Om-Calculator - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper focuses on presenting the use of an Activity Taxonomy as an Evaluation Framework of modeling elements that are recently used to capture activity specifications in the context of the HCI. The aims of the evaluation are: to validate the categories of an Activity Taxonomy for Interactive Systems and to analyze the level of understanding of engineers and students, who practice the development of interactive systems, about the modeling elements evaluated. The results of the evaluation are aimed to show which of the notational elements under evaluation have the features to properly represent the activity in the specification of interactive systems. Some of the conclusions of the study reveal that most of the notations do not differentiate the representation of the activity for the business and system levels of abstraction. There is also evidence that is necessary the incorporation of HCI topics, such as task modeling, in training of computer engineering, in order to reinforce the knowledge that students have on these subjects.
