Towards Employing UML Model Mappings for Platform Indepedent User Interface Design

چکیده
While model based design of platform independent application logic has already shown significant success, the design of platform independent user interfaces still needs further investigation. Nowadays, user interface design is usually platform specific or based on C-level cross-platform libraries. In this paper, we propose a MDA like design approach for user interfaces based on the transformation of UML models at different levels of abstraction. This enables platform independent design of user interfaces and a clear separation of UI and application logic design while enabling full use of native controls in the actual user interface implementation.

متن کاملTowards a UML for Interactive Systems
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 کاملXANUI: a Textural Platform-Indepedent Model for Rich User Interfaces
In recent years, several model-driven proposals have defined user interface models that can represent both behavioural and aesthetic aspects. However, the software industry has ignored the majority of these proposals because the quality of the rich user interfaces generated out of these models is usually low and their code generators are not flexible, i.e., the UI templates cannot be customised...
متن کاملTowards Mappings and Models Transformations for Consistency of Plastic User Interfaces
Developing many variants of a same User Interface (UI) on different platforms is costly, may result in inconsistent behavior and does not address the problem of the variability of the context of use in ubiquitous computing. As a result, a new property has been introduced in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI): the plasticity property. In HCI, plasticity refers to the ability of a UI to withstand v...
متن کاملSolving the Mapping Problem in User Interface Design by Seamless Integration in IdealXML
The mapping problem has been defined as the way to map models involved throughout the development life cycle of user interfaces. Model-based design of user interfaces has followed a long tradition of establishing models and maintaining mappings between them. This paper introduces a formal definition of potential mappings between models with its corresponding syntax so as to create a uniform and...
