Distributing User Interfaces
Ricardo Tesoriero · 2014
The distribution of user interfaces is a reality. To represent this reality this paper presents a metamodel to characterize user interface distribution capabilities and states. This metamodel allows analyzers/designers to manipulate user interface distribution models by the means of two model editors in order to calculate their capabilities and states. Based on these characteristics, five cases of study are analyzed and as result of this analysis, we redefine the distributed user interface concept as a user interface state, and define the distributable user interface concept as a user interface capability. Finally, we present the Proxywork system to illustrate the distributable user interface concept.
