Abstract

This paper introduces the PaMGIS framework for pattern-based modeling, generation and usability evaluation of interactive systems. It describes the structural aspects of HCI pattern languages and how such languages and patterns for various modeling stages (e.g. task modeling) and abstraction levels can be exploited to automate part of the software development process for interactive applications. The main components and the general functionality of the framework are discussed. The remaining part of the paper focuses on the low-level automation component of the framework and illustrates how the code for concrete interaction objects is generated from semi-abstract user interface patterns.
