software information systems engineering often useful make explicit separation model user interface separation facilitates system maintenance extensibility changes made model without affecting user interface vice versa another reason separate model interface different categories users may interact model different ways examples include users different degrees technical sophistication users different access privileges users different geographic areas users responsible different aspects problem domain often desirable tailor user interface different categories user many domains common domainspecific communication patterns maps equipment diagrams standard tabular charts cases may desirable provide model views based standard patterns finally model views useful building testing maintaining model may different appropriate views end users encourage papers focus issues relating model views applications bayesian networks examples include restricted following issues different
