Module goal - Knowledge and skill to be achieved by students |
|
| Students gain knowledge on designing and implementation of human-machine interface for complex systems such as: SCADA systems, systems for supervision, safety and signalisation, chemical and power plants control, etc. Students will also design and implement user interface by using modern software tools and visualisation components. <br> |

Syllabus |
|
| 1. Human-machine communication, interface types and characteristics, information and information pipelining. <br> 2. User interface and operating system types, event driven interface. <br> 3. Tools for designing and programming user interface. <br> 4. Component model for interface development. <br> 5. Characteristic components: labels, edit windows, pull-down menus, control buttons. <br> 6. User interface menu system, prototyping techniques. <br> 7. Graphical user interface components. <br> 8. Multithreaded execution, timing controls. <br> 9. Web oriented user interface. <br> 10. Evaluation of user interface usability. Trends of user interface development. <br> |
