MAUI: An Interface Design Tool Based on Matrix Algebra

Abstract We describe MAUI, a user interface design tool that is based on a matrix algebra model of interaction. MAUI can be used to build and analyse designs for interactive systems, such as handheld devices. This paper describes MAUI, its advantages and underlying mathematical approach. MAUI is implemented in Java and XML, which allows flexible integration with other parts of the design life cycle, such as prototyping, implementation and documentation.
