β¦ Synopsis
This paper considers user interface design world (UIDW) as a system of communication lines. It necessitates the adoption of a UI design method, centered on language application. For that reason, this approach to UI design is called linguistic approach. The basic characteristics of communication require the presence of a balanced model of UIDW. The integration approach applied to the proposed balanced model submits for analyzing the following issues: the possibilities of object-oriented (OO) approach for providing a homogeneous platform for UI designing; the potential of OO approach for language implementation. The use of formal description provides a basis for the consideration of these issues.
As a result of these considerations, the following conclusions are drawn. A technology can be used for language implementation if it ensures all abstract forms reΒ―ected to the language structure: concept Β± this is the essence of the word; forms based on individual abstraction reΒ―ect static relations of one description; forms based on group abstraction provide context description. At present, the OO technology covers a part of the language structure. It ensures the forms of concept and the forms based on individual abstraction. The OO paradigm can be regarded as a foundation of a linguistic approach to UI design when new OO forms are developed. They have to cover the forms of group abstraction.

## Abstract Our purpose in this study is to inductively reorganize software interface menu items based on a user's process model. The proposed menu interface in this study used direct users' input, such as goals and strategies for solving their information needs, to reorganize and reβlabel menus. T
This paper presents a self-adaptive approach to user interface design. The primary philosophy of this design is that the user interface must be aware of the changes in its user's behavior and then adapt to it. Three different default policies are proposed to control the adaptation of a user interfac
In this paper, we present the results of an ongoing effort in building user interfaces for proof systems. Our approach is generic: we are not constructing a user interface for a particular proof system, rather we have developed techniques and tools that have been applied to several proof systems. We
This paper describes a technique by which a fuzzy subset can be linguistically labelled. The technique involves the separation of a given fuzzy set into a certain number of specific subsets. The labelling is based on assignment of labels to these specific subsets and their concatenation with connect
