Patterns and Objects for User Interface Construction

Nowadays, computers play a very important role, that is to say, as a communication tool between people. This introduces the interface between human and machines as a key player, therefore the importance of these interfaces. The existing software development processes recognize this importance but do not establish precise guidelines for the construction of the user interface as an activity within the system life cycle. This article describes a method for constructing user interfaces based upon interaction patterns. This method can be incorporated to an object-oriented software development process which fulfills certain characteristics. Interaction patterns describe interface design solutions favoring the development of a user interface prototype.
