Abstract:
The lowering of efforts for the adaptation of GUI dialogs to changing business processes is still a worthwhile goal. In this context, user interface patterns (UIPs) have been introduced in the development of user interfaces to increase both usability and reusability. Originally derived from human computer interaction patterns, UIPs are generative and thus have to be formalized. Recent approaches for model-based GUI development employ UIPs with specific notations. These UIP concepts have not yet been evaluated on the basis of a stringent set of criteria. We elaborate detailed requirements for generative UIPs. The resulting influence factor model is used to assess recent UIP approaches and identify open issues.
