Abstract
The unique characteristics of Web architecture have given a great degree of flexibility to the design of the Web User Interface (WUI), compared to the user interface design of traditional software applications. This in turn has had some undesirable consequences. The process of WUI design involves both logical and perceptual aspects. Without careful analysis of the UI requirements, usability problems can result in the implemented application. Like the development of any software application, a systematic approach is required to support the design process of WUI; hence the application can support the users to complete their tasks efficiently and effectively. In this paper, we propose an analysis modelling method for requirement engineering of such a Web interface for Web applications. The model can be used for capturing the logical view of the user-system interaction at a high level of abstraction. It is at a sufficient level of abstraction to keep it independent of the particular implementation tool or language.
