Abstract
To assist the passengers of armoured vehicles to adapt to the increasingly complex battlefield environment, more advanced graphical user interfaces (GUIs) of display control systems should be provided. However, the current GUI design relies heavily on manual labour and is lack of traceability to the functions of vehicles. This makes the GUI design error-prone and difficult to be verified. To this end, towards the automated GUI design, an approach to automatically generating components constituting the GUI according to vehicle functions is proposed. The vehicle functions and GUI components are modeled in SysML based on domain-specific stereotypes and meta types. The semantics of these models is formally described by ontologies such that the GUI components implementing related vehicle functions can be retrieved. A vehicle function for task planning is used as a case study to illustrate the proposed approach.
