  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."
