Issues in Automatic Generation of User Interfaces in Model-Based Systems

The working group examined the issue of what level of automation is desirable, or effective, in interface development, especially in model-based systems. Two camps emerged that were very much apart at the beginning and made small concessions towards the end. One camp advocated using no automation at all, instead letting interface developers make design decisions, perhaps with decision support from a system. The second camp proposed that maximum automation of interface design should be the goal of a model-based systems.
