Interface design for a sensory analysis decision support system

Abstract

Adequate interfaces are an essential part of any Decision Support System (DSS) since they can contribute to a more efficient use of that system. Also, a user-friendly design can facilitate the acceptance and utilization of the software by its end users. This work presents the development process of the interfaces designed for a DSS that is being developed in order to help decision-making in a context of Sensory Analysis. That process began with the construction of mock-ups and, for that purpose, the tool chosen was Lumzy, a web-based wireframing tool for rapid user-interface prototyping.
