Detailed Outline
This tutorial will illustrate how the growing SysML notation can be used for the development of model-based systems. After a quick overview of the language itself and its basic principles we will detail the main and most useful diagrams. The emphasis will be on the requirements and their traceability as well as the architecture description. To show the potential of the notation a final model animation will be provided using the IBM Rhapsody tool.

Target Audience
Systems engineers, modelers.

Prerequesite Knowledge
A first experience in modeling tools (not necessarily UML).

Generating Web Pages Automatically Optimized for Your Smartphone
Abstract
This tutorial shows how human-computer interaction can be based on discourse modeling, even without employing speech or natural language. It treats HCI interaction design and Web-page generation on the level of human-human communication.

Communicative acts as abstractions from speech acts can model basic building blocks (“atoms”) of communication, like a question or an answer. When, e.g., a question and an answer are glued together as a so-called adjacency pair, a simple “molecule” of a dialogue is modeled. Deliberately complex discourse structures can be modeled using relations from Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST). The content of a communicative act can refer to ontologies of the domain of discourse. Taking all this together, we created a new discourse metamodel that specifies what discourse models may look like. Such discourse models can specify an interaction design.

This tutorial explains how such an interaction design can be used for automated generation of Web-pages. In addition, it sketches how the generated Web-pages are optimized to a specified screen size, e.g., of a current smartphone. This is based on novel use of model-transformation rules according to the model-driven architecture.

Keywords
HCI, Touchscreen GUIs, Smartphones, Interaction Design

Aims and Learning Objective
In this tutorial, participants will learn (about) modeling discourses using an approach inspired by human-human communication. They will know how modeling discourses and generating Web-pages from them can be approached systematically.

Scenario-based Requirements Engineering Facilitating Interaction Design
Abstract
When the requirements and the interaction design of a system are separated, they will most likely not fit together, and the resulting system will be less than optimal. Even if all the real needs are covered in the requirements and also implemented, errors may be induced by human-computer interaction through a bad interaction design and its resulting user interface. Such a system may even not be used at all. Alternatively, a great user interface of a system with features that are not required will not be very useful as well. Therefore, we argue for combined requirements engineering and interaction design, primarily based on usage scenarios in the sense of sequences of actions aimed at accomplishing some task goal. However, scenario-based approaches vary especially with regard to their use, e.g., employing abstract use cases or integrating scenarios with functions and goals in a systematic design process. So, the key issue to be addressed is how to combine different approaches, e.g., in scenario-based development, so that the result is an overall useful and useable system. In particular, scenarios are very helpful for purposes of usability as well.

Keywords
Requirements Engineering, Scenarios, Interaction Design

Aims and Learning Objective
In this tutorial, participants will learn about an approach to scenario-based requirements engineering that facilitates interaction design. In particular, participants will understand how scenarios and use cases can be utilized both for requirements engineering and interaction design, though with different emphasis on the level of detail. They will also understand the additional need to specify the functional requirements for the system to be built, even in the context of object-oriented (OO) development. Overall, they will gain a better understanding of early systems design.
