“…Thus, a more realistic situation is where behavioural design is closely integrated into a prototyping process such that designs can be tried out and tested with users and the designs refined to reflect their feedback. In order to address this goal we have developed the Marigold toolset [33,34]. This toolset supports the rapid transition from pre-implementation designs of virtual environment interface behaviour (using the Flownet specification formalism [23,25]) to fully working implementation-prototypes.…”

“…3 development, evaluation and use of interactive systems. There are also other experiences on the definition of pattern languages proposed by [Bayle97], [Casaday97], [Erickson01] and [Coram03]. An interaction pattern language is a collection of structured patterns which serves designers as guidelines for constructing a user interface.…”

Nowadays, computers play a very important role, that is to say, as a communication tool between people. This introduces the interface between human and machines as a key player, therefore the importance of these interfaces. The existing software development processes recognize this importance but do not establish precise guidelines for the construction of the user interface as an activity within the system life cycle. This article describes a method for constructing user interfaces based upon interaction patterns. This method can be incorporated to an object-oriented software development process which fulfills certain characteristics. Interaction patterns describe interface design solutions favoring the development of a user interface prototype.

“…A usability patterns community, inspired by the recent work on software patterns, has begun to explore how patterns can be used to provide an intermediate perspective between universally applicable usability guidelines and component-specific style guides [32][33][34][35]. The essential idea of a design pattern is to capture recurring problems along with the context and forces that operate on the problem to yield a general solution.…”

Abstract.As usability knowledge and techniques continues to grow, there is an increasing need to provide tools that disseminate the accumulated wisdom of the field. Usability guidelines are one technique that is used to convey usability knowledge. Another is the emerging discipline of usability patterns. This paper presents an approach that combines these techniques in a case-based architecture and utilizes a process to help an organization capture, adapt, and refine usability resources from project experiences. The approach utilizes a rule-based tool to represent the circumstances under which a given usability resource is applicable. Characteristics of the application under development are captured and used to match usability resources to the project where they can be used to drive the design process. Design reviews are used to capture feedback and ensure that the repository remains a vital knowledge source for producing useful and usable software systems.
