UML2App: Towards the automatic generation of user interfaces for mobile devices

Published: 25 June 2019 Publication History

Abstract

The development of app for mobile devices poses extra challenges to the ones already present in the development of the so-called traditional applications. The interaction capabilities differ from those found in desktop applications, which must be carefully considered to produce a natural way of interacting with mobile devices. Another relevant aspect in the development of such apps is fragmentation, given the variability in the operating systems they use, the guidelines that drive the development for each operating system and the hardware characteristics of the devices. In this work a model-driven approach for the generation of mobile apps is introduced aimed at contributing to address the issues previously discussed. This approach relies on a UML profile applied to a set of models, including models such as a task model. Currently, the implementation is focused in Android framework.
