Abstract

A large number of user interface (UI) pattern collections have been developed by different researchers. This paper discusses the main requirements for a tool to be used by researchers and user interface designers that can manage a repository of possibly disparate pattern collections. An analysis of the main requirements and specifications for such a tool has been carried out. Pattern tools have been surveyed to identify the functionality they provide. A framework for a UI pattern management tool has been developed in the light of the analysis and the survey.
