Model Driven Development of Advanced User Interfaces

Workshop CfP

Workshop description

Abstract

The user interface of an application is often one of the core factors determining its success. While model-driven development is gaining popularity in the software engineering community, model-based user interface development is an important line of research in the human-computer interaction community. Both approaches make extensive use of models to develop software, but currently they are still vastly independent. This workshop aims at integrating the knowledge from both domains, leading to a model-driven development of user interfaces. In particular the focus lies on advanced user interfaces corresponding to the current state-of-the-art in human-computer interaction, such as interfaces supporting complex interactions, visualizations, multimedia representations, multimodality, adaptability, or customization.

Objectives

• Bring together a community integrating people and knowledge from human-computer-interaction and software engineering.
• Integrate research lines from model-based user interface development, model-based software engineering, and model-driven software development.
• Compose an overview of the state-of-the-art and challenges of the integration of user interface design methodologies and model-driven development.
• Plan further events on these topics.

Participants

Intended audience of the workshop are specialists from the human-computer interaction and software engineering domains. More precisely, researchers and practitioners from either domain that are interested in the bridging the gap to the other domain are welcome to attend the workshop. Knowledge about MDA and UML as well as about user interface modelling is recommended. Participants for this workshop are requested to submit a position paper..
