This paper depicts potentialities of formal HCI pattern specifications with regard to facilitate the semi-automated generation of user interfaces for interactive applications. In a first step existing proven and well accepted techniques in the field of model-based user interface development are highlighted and briefly reviewed. Subsequently it is discussed how we combine modelbased and pattern-oriented methods within our user interface modeling and development framework in order to partly enable automated user interface generation. In this context a concrete pattern definition approach is introduced and illustrated with tangible examples from the domain of interactive knowledge sharing applications.

“…Stating a UIP definition is not easily done since a standardization of this term has yet to be reached [7]. What can be assumed is a separation of UIPs between their usage in specification or generation of software, hence the pattern idea for GUI systems found its roots in HCI [8] and now evolves towards automated or generative development [9].…”

“…There have been attempts to create a unified description scheme with the introduction of PLML (pattern language markup language) in 2003 [10]. Engel, Herdin and Märtin conducted an investigation of common description schemes in [7]. Descriptive UIPs are established as specification elements and supported by the HCI community.…”

Patterns for visual GUI design propagate the specification of user interfaces with proven usability and motivate model-based development processes with increased reuse of GUI component compositions. However, a common structure, that captures all the reusability and variability demands, neither has been established for the descriptive form nor the generative kind of user interface patterns. Dedicated GUI specification languages like UIML and UsiXML fail to express pattern definitions that can be instantiated in varying contexts. Thus, model-based processes are required to introduce own media to store those patterns. With our approach, we review the state of the art for generative user interface pattern definition and derive requirements which we refine by a Global Analysis. Finally, we developed a model that accommodates primary factors and their impacts towards the concept for a more sophisticated generative user interface pattern definition.
