A UML-Based Design Environment for Interactive Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 interface diagram for modelling abstract UI presentations and an extended activity diagram that provides constructors for modelling common UI behaviours. This paper presents the support provided for UI design by the UMLi design environment. Designers can use the environment to model applications and their UIs using UML and its extensions in UMLi. The tool provides facilities for modelling interaction objects, and the collaboration of these interaction objects with domain objects.

An Interactive Viewpoint on the Role of UML
The role of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is to model interactive systems, whose behaviors emerge from the interaction of their components with each other and with the environment. Unlike traditional (algorithmic) computation, interactive computation involves infinite and dynamic (late binding) input/output streams. Algorithmic tools and models do not suffice to express the behavior of to...
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...
