  1. UML-Based Design Enviroment for Interactive Applications

  2. UMLi • The Unified Modelling Language for Interactive Applications • An extension of UML • Easing the design of user interfaces • Emphasises on supporting the development of form-based interactive interfaces • Enviroment tool ARGOi • Relation between interaction and domain objects

  3. Modeling User Interface Presentations • UML: Class and object diagrams • Problems: Identifying roles and containments

  4. User Interface Presentations

  5. Modelling User Interface Behaviour • Control-flow and data-flow • Difference lies in whether the activity diagram has object flows or not. • UMLi has distinct facilities for modelling control-flow and data-flow.

  6. Modelling User Interface Behaviour

  7. ARGO

  8. ARGOi • Based on ARGO and provides the UMLi facilities. • Based mainly on the extended functionalities implemented in the editing panel and property form

  9. Components (ARGO, GEF, NSUML,XML Parser) ARGOi high level architecture

  10. Presentation Modelling Support • Problems (content, concept) • ARGOi (FreeContainer, automatically created) • Interaction objects (constructor creators, placement, layout) • From abstract presentation to concrete presentation

  11. Control-flow Modelling Support • Temporal-relation wizard • Based on task model techniques • Uses extensions to UML activity diagrams • Benefits • Reduced effort modelling control-flow • Exploits the potential of SelectionStates and ReturnTransitions

  12. Temporal-relation wizard

  13. Data-flow Modelling Support • Classifiers (Class, UseCase, InteractionObject) • Type specification • Stereotypes

  14. Conclusions • UMLi can be effectively implemented in a UML-based design environment • ARGOi can provide support for modelling a complete interactive application
