Title
Interfacing the Interface: Unification Through Separation
Abstract
This paper addresses the modeling of user-centred interaction paradigms at a fundamental level. Interfacing can be described as defining and specifying 'connection' points for communication. By providing interactive means of relating flows between these connection points, we can achieve a dialogue. A dialogue becomes a Dialog if a sufficient level of understanding both ways is achieved. We consider this to represent the,level of accessibility an environment, whether virtual or real, requires. A well balanced design in any information system provides an architecture with built-in accessibility features. To this end, a high level of flexibility and accessibility c an be achieved by separating the various entities that are of importance in the communication process. This paper provides an explanation of this approach and an example of its implementation.
