Abstract

Usability has become a key factor in the success of a software product, and constructing an appropriate user interface layout is an important way to enhance the software usability because a well-organized user interface is needed to support the task associated with it. This paper proposed an automatic user interface layout approach for the ontology-based reconfigurable system according to the structural principle of the usable user interface design guidelines. It firstly maps the components in the user interface into the concepts in the ontology, and then divides them into groups based on the concepts' similarities and relationships, finally identifies the position of the components in the user interface according to its significance to the task associated with the user interface. Experiments show that the approach is helpful in the usability design of software systems.
