  • Abstract
    This paper examines the benefits and problems of utilising an existing task modelling theory in an advanced interface design tool. The authors offer solutions to problems they encountered and give detailed examples illustrating those proposed solutions. In particular they introduce the beginnings of a formal task modelling language with a well defined syntax and semantics. In addition they outline a task modelling tool for use as part of a user interface design environment (UIDE) that encapsulates these. They focus on the role of a task modelling tool in a UIDE
