Using HCI-Patterns with Model-based Generation of Advanced User-Interfaces.
Robert Rathsack, Andreas Wolff, Peter Forbrig · 2006
In the HCI community a number of pattern catalogues were created during the last years. Due to the nature of such patterns they are often described high-level and abstract. In this paper we present an approach to translate at least a certain kind of patterns into a machine readable form, while keeping them abstract in terms of problem independence. Those translated HCI patterns can be used for a semiautomated MDA-procedure using device- and mapping definitions. Also an example for this development cycle, a sequence of pattern-based transformations, is presented.
