INTERACTION OF THE USER WITH THE INFORMATION SYSTEM. PART 2. ALGORITHMS FOR DETECTING DISADVANTAGES

The article is the second in a series devoted to the issues of user interaction with the information system. The problem of detecting interaction disadvantages is being solved. For this, a terminological base is introduced that defines the following main objects of the interaction process: element, form, problem solution, problem solving function, script graph, script graph node, data graph, data graph node, interface, problem domain; as well as their relationship. Using the database, the distinguishing features of each of the Top 20 interaction disadvantages identified in the first part of the cycle are highlighted. As a consequence, for each disadvantages , an algorithm for its detection is proposed, described in an object-oriented pseudo-language; the description of the principle of operation of each of the algorithms is given. The analysis of the algorithms made it possible to recreate a general software framework, on the basis of which it is possible to modernize the current ones, as well as create new search methods. A conclusion is drawn regarding the transition from a rather subjective description of the disadvantages to a much more strict basis for their formalization. The direction of further research is set, which will be covered in the next article of the cycle.
