Presentation Transcript

  1. UsiXML A user interface description language supporting multiple levels of independence

  2. Multi path UI development • Overcomes shortcomings in existing UI development • 4 principles

  3. Related work • Teallach tool • UIML • XIML • SeescoaXML • TERESA • RIML

  4. Graph Transformation • Satisfies the requirements subsumed by the four principles of multi-path development • 2 steps

  5. Reference Framework • Structures models • Characterizes model transformation • 4 development steps

  6. Graph Transformation specification with UsiXML • Why graph transformation? • Visual • Formal • Seamless

  7. Combining Transformations • Allows more complex transformations • Different paths(2D<->3D, software<->physical, HTML<-> Windows…)

  8. UsiXML • basic UI models and a so-called transformation model • In addition: • uiModel • mappingModel • contextModel • transformationModel

  9. Transformation system • Composed of several transformation rules • Uses variables to add to the expressive power

  10. Transformation example

  11. Transformations • 3 types • Abstraction • Reification • Translation

  12. Tool support

  13. Summary • Main features of multi-way UI development are: • - A flexible development process based on transformations • - A unique formal language to specify UI related artifacts. • - A transformational approach based on systematic rules • A tool supporting the expression and manipulation of models and design knowledge visually.
