| Abstract |
GUI for supervision, control and data acquisition systems are usually oriented to specialist users. In big organizations like CERN, where different teams play the roles of operators, scientists and instrumentation specialists, providing a unique or static user interface usually results in a situation of dissatisfaction of everyone. On the other hand, providing distinct user interfaces for each type of user increases the development and maintenance effort and makes software evolution heavier. The approach taken for the design and development of GUIs for radiation and environment protection at CERN addressed this issue by integrating user interface changes as an embedded software functionality. Key users were provided with a tool to build, deploy and maintain their own tailor-made user interfaces, in a graphical way and without the necessity of learning any kind of programming or scripting languages. Other benefits observed from this solution include reduction of the resources spent on the support and maintenance and increase of the frequency of GUIs updates, executed without compromising the underlying control system. This paper describe the innovative design that was implemented.
