User Interface Modelling with UML
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a natural candidate for user interface (UI) modelling since it is the standard notation for object oriented modelling of applications. However, it is by no means clear how to model UIs using UML. This paper presents a user interface modelling case study using UML. This case study identifies some aspects of UIs that cannot be modelled using UML notation, and a set of UML constructors that may be used to model UIs. The modelling problems indicate some weaknesses of UML for modelling UIs, while the constructors exploited indicate some strengths. The identification of such strengths and weaknesses can be used in the formulation of a strategy for extending UML to provide greater support for user interface design.

An MDA Approach for Generating Web Interfaces with UML ConcurTaskTrees and Canonical Abstract Prototypes
UML has become the standard language for modelling in different areas and domains, but it is widely recognized that it lacks support for User Interface Design (UID). On the other hand, ConcurTaskTree (CTT) is one of the most widely used notations for task and dialogue modelling. An important achievement is the proposed notation and semantics for CTT by extending the UML metamodel, proving that ...

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) can be used for modelling both the structure and behaviour of software applications. However, although UML supports many different modelling notations, minimal support is provided for user interface (UI) design. The Unified Modeling Language for Interactive Applications (UMLi) is an extension of UML that provides support for UI design. UMLi has a user interfa...

We will introduce ScIML, a domain specific language for voice user interface (VUI) creation that is based on the generic expressive means of the Unified Modelling Language. In particular, we employ UML statecharts for interaction flow modelling.

Nowadays, UML is the most successful model-based approach to supporting software development. However, during the evolution of UML little attention has been paid to supporting user interface design and development. In the meantime, the user interface has become a crucial part of most software projects, and the use of models to capture requirements and express solutions for its design, a true ne...
متن کاملA Constraint-Based Collaborative Environment for Learning UML Class Diagrams
COLLECT-UML is a constraint-based ITS that teaches objectoriented design using Unified Modelling Language (UML). UML is easily the most popular object-oriented modelling technology in current practice. We started by developing a single-user ITS that supported students in learning UML class diagrams. The system was evaluated in a real classroom, and the results show that students’ performance in...
