Developers of interactive systems need a design process that looks ahead to expose conflicting implications of decisions made by user interface designers and software designers. To support a design-by-reuse paradigm, such a design process must include a repository-based environment for coordinating the selection and modification of reusable design elements. This paper presents a repository meta model that extends the ER model to unify user interface and software design information, to make explicit the semantics of abstract connections between user interface and software design elements, and to support an environment of integrated design tools. Two detailed examples illustrate using the meta model in ongoing research projects.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/BFb0024384
