Method of Structural-Parametric Synthesis of the Query-Type Information Service Interface

This paper addresses the problem of the generic nature of existing information system interfaces, which requires personalization for specific users and their tasks. A limited set of query-based information systems designed to collect user data, which is then used to perform calculations, is considered. The goal is to improve interface efficiency, defined as a combination of the following metrics: error-free operation of graphical elements (effectiveness), speed of operation (efficiency), and the degree of absence of psycho-emotional stress (resource efficiency). The problem is reduced to an optimization one, in which the target function is the stated efficiency, and the variable parameters are the interface structure and the parameters of its elements. The model also includes static parameters such as atomic efficiencies of each element, etc. A method for structural-parametric interface synthesis is proposed, consisting of the following sequential steps performed with logical branches: calculating atomic efficiency, selecting the task to be solved in the information system, obtaining the logic for working with the information system, determining data types, selecting the setup mode, checking the setup mode, collecting user data, selecting a user profile, entering optimization criteria, entering atomic efficiencies, searching for a previously synthesized interface, checking for the presence of a synthesized interface, building an efficiency model of the interface, selecting an algorithm for solving the optimization problem, solving the optimization problem, dynamically generating the interface, connecting the interface to the information system, initializing the user session, monitoring user actions, adaptive adjustment of the interface, displaying the result of solving the problem, assessing the actual efficiency, checking whether the efficiency corresponds to the specified one, adjusting atomic efficiencies, adjusting the model parameters, and saving the synthesized interface. A block diagram of the method is provided, and the significance and ways of continuing the research are indicated.
