Although a variety of concepts has been developed to implement user interfaces that serve a variety of end users, there is still a lack of techniques applicable for the structured development of this type of user interfaces. The presentation deals with the E-DSA (Embedded Design Space Analysis) technique. It has been developed in the course of a research and development project bringing together interactive-software and industrial designers. Based on a common design space, it suggests to gather design options and structure the design process through a formal decision making procedure, hence increasing the maintainability of design solutions and products this way. The conceptual framework and procedure will be detailed and exemplified in the presentation.
