An Interaction Meta-model for Cooperative Component-Based User Interfaces

Trading services are well-known solutions in Software Engineering for solving the interoperability and integration of software components and Information Systems (IS). This paper presents a Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) approach aimed to help designing and deploying Trading-Based Knowledge Representation (TKR) Systems, a subset of Management Information Systems (MIS). For this purpose, we have defined a set of modeling languages and supporting tools enabling: (a) the description of platform-independent TKR System architectures; (b) the high-level description of different deployment platforms; and (c) the creation of configuration models relating the two previous ones. These configuration models are then used as an input to a model-to-text transformation that generates the final TKR System implementation (code) from the selected platform. In order to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of the proposed approach we also present a case study applied to an Environmental Management Information System (EMIS).

The proliferation of environmental, health, and safety regulations in recent years has increased the complexity and cost of regulatory compliance for companies. In response to the growing complexities of environmental management, many firms are turning to information systems for tracking, managing, and automating their environmental activities and information. An environmental management information system (EMIS), however, is not an end in itself. A successful EMIS supports and facilitates the integration of environmental management into business functions. Effective planning is essential for placing short‐term information system development in the context of a long‐range comprehensive environmental management strategy.This article presents specific pitfalls to avoid when purchasing environmental management software. Numerous companies have discovered that the true costs of EMIS implementation stem from the political and organizational costs of getting employees to use systems, particularly when they require alterations in existing work processes. The up‐front purchase price often represents less than 50 percent of the total system implementation cost. Failure to adequately research and plan frequently results in costly training, high modification or user fees, incompatibilities with other applications, or vendor dependence. The article then discusses the range of options in the EMIS marketplace and offers many practical suggestions to approach and plan effective implementation of an EMIS.

Technology-based management of environmental organizations using an Environmental Management Information System (EMIS): Design and development

Ten years ago, I introduced the notion of user interface plasticity to denote the capacity of user interfaces to adapt, or to be adapted, to the context of use while preserving usability. The Model Driven Engineering (MDE) approach, which was used for user interface generation since the early eighties in HCI, has recently been revived to address this complex problem. Although MDE has resulted in interesting and convincing results for conventional WIMP user interfaces, it has not fully demonstrated its theoretical promises yet. In this paper, we discuss how to push MDE to the limit in order to reconcile high-level modeling techniques with low-level programming in order to go beyond WIMP user interfaces.

Energy and environmental management information systems

Digital technology can be used to solve problems that arise from business activity. One company that has not optimally used digital technology is PT Tiga Tapak Mutiara, which is engaged in manufacturing shoe labels. In its business process, each related division collects data, and the data collection results will be reported to the manager to unify work activities. The production data collection process has not been carried out optimally by the relevant divisions because the conventional recording is still carried out using a spreadsheet application which can slow down the reporting process to be monitored by the leadership. As a result, a slow process can impact not completing production on time. In addition to the problem of data collection, another problem is that the completion of orders received earlier is not compared to the orders received last. The aim and contribution of this research are to integrate business processes to overcome these problems in data collection, monitoring, and order completion activities. It is necessary to design a web-based monitoring information system with the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method and the application of the First In, First Out (FIFO) method so that the ordering process can run according to the time of order. The result of this research is a web-based information system that is useful for integrating business processes to monitor and optimize production activities to be completed on time. This web-based information system has also passed the functionality test using black box testing and is following the company's needs.

User interfaces represent a major part in software products. Generally, it is difficult to document the content and the structure of the user interface. However, there is a need to save and preserve the overall state and structure of the user interface for later communication and modifications in requirements, design and implementation. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) storage format should be universal and can be transferred from one application to another (such as XML). GUI states are usually defined as the overall combination of properties of all the components or widgets of the GUI This paper suggests an alternative back end representation of user interfaces and their state from their original format within the applications. The user interface model is transformed to a schema saved in an XML file. The schema structure represents the user interface state. This state considers only the structure of the user interface and ignores controls' specific properties. XML format is widely used and accepted by many applications. It is the infrastructure language for web pages and database management systems. User interface documentation is useful for future evaluation and comparison, useful for stakeholders' communication. It is also for some GUI testing activities such as regression testing where we trigger testing if there is a change in the user interface.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) and GUI (Graphical User Interface) are the two most cutting-edge technologies. These technologies individually can make a comprehensive change in industries and alter economic and social interactions and connections. In general, Now-a-days AI is integrated with human technology and used in some wide range of sectors like healthcare, finance to education, banking, manufacturing, transportation, etc. GUI is used in gaming, designing, AR (Augmented reality) and VR (Virtual reality), media, smart home devices, etc., Integration of Artificial Intelligence and Graphical User Interface is beneficial for both users and app developers. The convergence of AI and GUI gives dynamic applications like Data Visualization, Insights, Smart assistants, Adaptions, Navigations, and Predictive analytics. This integration will increase the ease of access for new information to users. Now we are facing some general problems based on these technologies like Adaptive User Interfaces, Automated user interface testing, AI-Enhanced data visualization, Intelligent GUI Design Assistance, Real-Time Emotion Recognition for GUI Adaptation, etc., User interfaces are often designed with a one-size-fits-all approach, which does not account for individual user preferences and abilities. Designing perceptive and attractive GUIs requires significant space and time. This chapter focus on how can we develop a UI (User Interface) with base of AI which can be capable of solving the above obstacles and gives the simple objectives and technical solutions. By this integration we can execute some future projects like AI-Enhanced Customer Support Portals, Adaptive Gaming Interfaces, Interactive Financial Management Systems, and more.

Within Germany’s industry the issue of environmental protection has increased in importance within recent years. A distinct indicator to support this thesis is the voluntary participation in the implementation of the EMAS by more than 2000 company sites. One reason for this is a shift in the perception of industrial environmental protection over the past years. Previous environmental protection was mostly sensed as a bureaucratic burden. Today, the enterprises take an active part in using environmental protection successfully for achieving company business aims by setting-up environmental management systems. This chapter focuses on the issue of material flow management as an approach to optimise a company’s economical and environmental performance. Material flow management comprises the identification, analysis and optimisation of procurement, usage, handling, transformation and disposal of all physical goods within a company. A physical good in the context of material flow management does not only comprise raw materials and semi-finished products but especially all those materials that have not been dealt with in common management and information systems such as waste, energy, commodities, etc. This chapter describes contents and potentials of material flow management. It especially contains a description of the specification and introduction of an Environmental Management Information Systems (EMIS) which offers special support in the area of material flow management to a machine building company.Request access from your librarian to read this chapter's full text.

Implementation of a Chatbot System using AI and NLP

Mobility for graphical user interfaces (GUIs) is a challenging problem, as different GUIs need to be constructed for different device capabilities and changing context, preferences and users’ locations. GUI developers frequently create multiple user interface versions for different devices. The solution lies in using a single, abstract, user interface description that is used later to automatically generate user interfaces for different devices. Various techniques are proposed to adapt GUIs from an abstract specification to a concrete interface. Design-time techniques have the possibility of creating better performing GUIs but, in contrast to run-time techniques, lack flexibility and mobility. Run-time techniques’ mobility and autonomy can be significantly improved by using mobile agent technology and an indirect GUI generation paradigm. Using indirect generation enables analysis of computer-human interaction and application of artificial intelligence techniques to be made at run-time, increasing GUIs’ performance and usability.

The Complaint Service Information System is a web-based platform designed for the Dewantara District Office. The title Complaint Service Information System is based on the need for technological solutions to improve the quality of public services, especially in handling public complaints. This system was chosen because it facilitates more efficient complaint reporting, increases transparency, and speeds up responses to issues raised by the public. By applying information technology in handling complaints, it is hoped that we can create a public service environment that is more responsive, open and adaptive to the ever-growing needs of society. The process of creating a complaint service information system involves several main stages. First, the needs analysis stage is carried out to identify and understand the needs of users and related parties in handling complaints. This involves a survey and analysis of associated documents. Next, the system design and design stage involves database structure, user interface, and business logic. This Information System design process involves critical steps to ensure the success and effectiveness of the system, including coding, creating a user interface, and setting up a database. The results of designing the Complaint Service Information System include a simple and responsive user interface, an online complaint form, a status tracking system, and analytical reports. A structured and secure database stores, manages, and retrieves complaint data. Afterwards, the implementation phase involves running the entire system and, if necessary, data migration. Through the creation of this Information System, it is hoped to evaluate the impact of the level of accessibility and ease of navigation in the system on employee performance in searching, monitoring and managing incoming complaints. With a web-based approach, this system provides easy, fast access for users from various locations and increases transparency in managing services provided to the community.
