If a common operator interface (COI) for satellite ground systems is built with conventional user interface (UI) technology, then there is substantial risk that the UI will end up determining a significant part of the ground system’s architecture. UI technology typically forces applications to be constructed as a set of call-backs to the UI. To avoid this situation an approach is required which...

The Object Oriented Analysis and Design Methodologies (OOADMs) have been developed for many years and with the emergence of Unified Modelling Language (UML) they are now becoming a matured standard for computer systems development. Advanced tools supporting integrated analysis, designing and development of computer systems are appearing in parallel. Most of them allow easy integration with Grap...

This paper presents an approach to model business processes and associated user interfaces in a declarative way, relying on constraints. An UML-based meta-model to define processes, activities and user-interface objects is proposed. Connecting activities and user interface objects in an integrated model allows expressing interdependencies and mutual effects. Flexible execution logic for workflo...

Camera-based user interfaces (UI) became increasingly relevant, especially on mobile devices, with location independent media production tools such as drones. The devices traditionally render the necessary user interface elements for remote control on top of the content they display. This often leads to occlusion and visual clutter. Progressive Reduction is a recently proposed UI adaption strat...

The Rational Unified Process (RUP) is a use case driven iterative software engineering process User Interface design within the RUP involves user interface modelling and user interface prototyping. This paper describes two support artefacts extended tabular use cases and UI element clusters which provide a bridge between these two activities. They provide support for ‘flow of events’ storyboard...

The complexity of mobile applications often lies in the user interface (UI). To update function provided by UI or just fix bugs related to UI, software maintainers primarily need to obtain the location of source code implementation and detect change set. Since UI related feature is tightly related to the class containing the declaration of the UI component, this paper proposes a topic matching ...

Modern user interfaces are highly dynamic and interactive. They often compose in various ways user interface components. Thus, there is a need to understand what can be composed in user interfaces and how. This chapter presents a design space for user interface composition. The design space consists of five dimensions addressing aspects ranging from the UI abstraction level involved by the comp...

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...

User interface (UI) design for ubiquitous computing is different from UI design for classical desktop-oriented applications. Interaction of a user with the system and applications takes place in a highly distributed fashion. Inputand output functionality is distributed over space, as well as time. Human-computer interaction (HCI) has to take place wherever needed and whenever needed. Due to the...
