Abstract

Models used for software designs are artifacts of today’s development culture. Generators and interpreters for models reduce the implementation effort and open a broader range of applications. This also is true for user interface models in any context of use (The Context of Use: http://​www.​w3.​org/​2005/​Incubator/​model-based-ui/​XGR-mbui/​#the-context-of-use.). UI models that are designed independently of end users together with varying platforms in alternating environments can be used in many contexts. Of course, derived transformations can be complex and are not as simple as needed. Applying reusable solutions to model-based user interface specifications implies transformations that could be performed automatically and adapt user interfaces to specific contexts of use. UIs can benefit from proven structures that are commonly used in cross-domain software. Applying patterns to model-based UI specifications is the focus of the paper. An example shows how UIs can be adapted by transformations based on patterns that are part of relevant specifications.
