Abstract

The current multitude of devices with different screen resolutions or graphic toolkits requires different user interfaces (UIs) for the same application. Model Driven UI Development solves this problem by transforming one target device independent specification into several target device dependent UIs. However, the established Model Driven Architecture (MDA) transformation process is not flexible enough to fully support all requirements of UI development. The vision of this thesis is to bridge the gap between the capabilities of model driven software engineering and the requirements of UI development. This work introduces an interactive model driven UI development approach that gives the designer control over the UI during the development process. Additional interactive support enables the designer to make informed design decisions which will ultimately lead to more satisfying UIs.
