abstract = "The central question for this paper is how to improve
the production process by closing the gap between
industrial designers and software engineers of
television(TV)-based User Interfaces (UI) in an industrial
environment. Software engineers are highly interested
whether one UI design can be converted into several
fully functional UIs for TV products with different
screen properties. The aim of the software engineers is
to apply automatic layout and scaling in order to speed
up and improve the production process. However, the
question is whether a UI design lends itself for such
automatic layout and scaling. This is investigated by
analysing a prototype UI design done by industrial designers.
In a first requirements study, industrial designers
had created meta-annotations on top of their
UI design in order to disclose their design rationale
for discussions with software engineers. In a second
study, five (out of ten) industrial designers assessed the
potential of four different meta-annotation approaches.
The question was which annotation method industrial
designers would prefer and whether it could satisfy
the technical requirements of the software engineering
process. One main result is that the industrial designers
preferred the method they were already familiar
with, which therefore seems to be the most effective
one although the main objective of automatic layout
and scaling could still not be achieved."
