Abstract

In this paper we discuss how task models can be useful in the design and development of interactive user interfaces for museum systems that are characterized by the possibility of different types of users. We use ConcurTaskTrees to graphically express hierarchical structures of concurrent activities. We provide examples taken from an application developed for the Marble Museum of Carrara in Italy.
