DIADEM - ein integriertes Gestaltungs- und Bewertungswerkzeug für Mensch-Maschine-Dialoge im Kraftfahrzeug

DIADEM (Dialogue Design and Evaluation Method) is a program tool that supports the model-based evaluation of human-machine dialogue with regard to specific condition's in vehicles.It Is inte grated with a prototyping tool for user interfaces.The evaluation method is based on an approach of modeling the driver's task-related knowledge by means of production systems.Cognitive complexity measures are derived, such as learning and execution time, visual dis traction, and a priori knowledge required.The production system models of the driver's tasks are generated by executing the tasks at a dialogue prototype.DIADEM has been developed, applied, and validated in several projects in cooperation with partners from the automo tive industry.
