Since almost over one decade
patterns are gaining a lot of interest in the domain of Human-Computer-Interaction
(HCI) engineering. It is generally agreed upon that patterns can
be used to facilitate the exchange of information and knowledge between
the interdisciplinary team members, involved in the user interface
design process. Despite the intense research activities in the last
years, usability patterns still lack in a standardized description
and organization. This makes it difficult for the developers to identify
the relevant patterns for solving a problem as well as to apply them
accordingly to the problem context.
To fully benefit from HCI patterns within the engineering of interactive
computer systems they have to be prepared for integration into a model-based
user interface development process. Instead of guiding and advising
the UI developers which solution should be applied, HCI patterns should
enable the easy reuse of already designed model- or code fragments.
To enable the integration of HCI patterns in the model-based development
process the informal textual, or graphical notation of HCI patterns
has to be overcome. Patterns have to support the formal description
of their solution-part, which allows the direct integration of the
solution-parts into the different models, like task-, dialog- and presentation-model.
Topics of Interest
We solicit papers addressing one or more of these issues:
- Development of HCI patterns
- Languages for the definition of HCI patterns
- Pattern representation: UML, XML, USiXML, mathematical formalization etc.
- Tools supporting the development of HCI patterns
- Pattern-oriented design and engineering
- The combination of models and HCI patterns in a model-driven development process
- Patterns in practices (project experience): Web services, mobile applications, etc.
