Model Driven Development of Complex User Interface

To promote the Model-Based software engineering development of user interfaces, this paper proposes a model driven development approach of complex user interface. The approach captures the process data in user interfaces by using an Extended Object Model. User interfaces are directly, abstractly depicted as objects, components and their cooperative relations in an Interaction Model. Their external visual presentation is customized in the Presentation Model in the name of UI Template. The uniqueness of this research is a direct and leveled abstractive attack on complex user interface composition or description, rather than the elicitation from task models.
