Prototypes, wireframes and various modelling techniques have been with us for longer than software engineering. I'd highly recommend a good read of some software engineering text books as well for an overview of using patterns and other extensions (but beyond the scope of this article). Thanks Matt for sending through the links. And I'd also recommend Google as a fine avenue of investigation. Cheers. Matt has emailed a bunch of links which might be useful for further reading:

This should be a very useful article for anyone picking up these concepts. I'm glad my former comment was a helpful prompt! :) I've sent those links to you by e-mail as well. Excellent roundup mate!
