Analysis and Design of Model-Based User Interfaces: An Approach to Refining Specifications towards Implementation.
Pedro J. Molina, Hallvard Trætteberg · CADUI · 2004
This paper proposes a method for user interface development where a model for analysis (Just-UI) and a model for design (DiaMODL) are conveniently combined into an integrated method. Just-UI currently supports automatically refining analysis models, through conceptual patterns to concrete user inter- face designs. Integrating a dialog modelling language (DiaMODL) into the method, will let the designers take part in the refinement process, hence gain- ing control and allowing a greater variety of designs. The method encourages the use of code generation for rapid prototyping of the UI. The ultimate objec- tive is to provide a suitable software engineering and user interface design method with coverage to cross through requirements to final implementation of core application code and user interface.
