ABSTRACT
This paper focus on the variety and the necessity of flexibility when it come to model driven or model based user interface design (MBUID) in conjunction with HCI patterns. Many approaches for user interface design that use graphical models or (semi-)formal textual notation have been developed in recent years and HCI or usability patterns are also well known (at least in theory), but in practice this combination still waits for its breakthrough. What obstacles stand in the way of an intensive usage of MBUID and HCI patterns? Some answers to this questions are given.

Recommendations
PEICS: towards HCI patterns into engineering of interactive systems
PEICS '10: Proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on Pattern-Driven Engineering of Interactive Computing SystemsDespite intense research activities in the last years, HCI patterns still lack in a standardized description and organization. This makes it difficult for the developers to identify the relevant patterns for solving a problem as well as to apply them ...
Model-based user interface engineering with design patterns
The main idea surrounding model-based UI (User Interface) development is to identify useful abstractions that highlight the core aspects and properties of an interactive system and its design. These abstractions are instantiated and iteratively ...
Automating UI guidelines verification by leveraging pattern based UI and model based development
CHI EA '10: CHI '10 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn large enterprises different teams work on different parts of a big software application. Therefore, retaining user interaction paradigms and concepts becomes important. However, during the development of a large software product, these principles and ...
