The operational logic behind a limited user interface is difficult to implement. The limited number of input and output resources - e.g. a very few buttons and a small display - leads to a highly overloaded use of each of these resources. At different times, a single button has different meanings, and one display area shows a variety of information.

Operational logic framework

Our tailored object-oriented framework solves resource conflicts by a priority- and time-driven configuration scheme, based on the users' perception of how these resources are assigned during use cases. The framework controls and decouples different functional fields through this resource management, so that their implementation becomes easy.

Additionally, our framework provides a mechanism for context sensitive help and the advanced tutorial system.

User interface framework

Simulation user interfaces are visually developed with our GUI Tool, and run by a separate user interface framework.

Custom frameworks

At different levels, within a specific domain or for certain product lines or families, customized frameworks and libraries address individual reuse potentials.
