An object oriented approach for the specification of user interfaces

The object oriented paradigm is considered as one of the best approaches for systems development. There exists many models, techniques and tools developed following this paradigm. Nevertheless, most of the object-oriented techniques used in the development of systems does not take into account human-computer interaction issues. This is a very important aspect that must be tackled in order to correctly fulfil the user needs and requirements. The main purpose of this paper is to present an object oriented approach for the integration of a user model in an object oriented software production environment.
