At the early stages of user interface design, it is important to be able to describe the contents and architecture of the interface without prematurely deciding its surface 'look and feel' and behaviour. In this paper, the problems of undertaking early design in an object-oriented (OO) context are examined, through consideration of the Unified Modelling Language (UML) and the Rational Unified Process (RUP). Within UML, the boundary class represents the user-system interface. The work of several researchers in this area is reviewed and compared. All of the approaches selected emphasise the importance of considering user interface issues at an early stage in the development lifecycle, and several important principles emerge. Problems with user interface design within the RUP are also identified and suggestions made about improvements, although the detail is outside the scope of this paper.
