Este artículo presenta un marco conceptual que incorpora la usabilidad en procesos de desarrollo de software basados en MDA (Model-Driven Architecture). En particular, se describe qué técnicas de evaluación pueden ser usadas y en qué momento. Para ilustrar la aplicación del marco se presenta un estudio experimental con un grupo de usuarios reales que evalúa la usabilidad de una aplicación generada automáticamente por una herramienta basada en MDA. Como resultado, se describe cómo los problemas de ...

Specification errors that are identified early on in the process are easier and less costly to fix. However, all too frequently business users only discover the impact of specifications once a system is deployed. It is therefore important to provide business users with representations of the future system that enable them to quickly catch the ramifications of current application specifications.

GP can be projected on different technologies, e.g. C++-templates, Java-Beans, Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), or Frame technology. This paper focuses on Frame Technology, which aids the possible implementation and completion of software components. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the GP paradigm in the area of GUI application generation. It demonstrates how automatically customized executable applications with GUI parts can be generated from an abstract specification.

This transformational development method has followed a long tradition of establishing models and maintaining mappings between them so as to create and maintain accurate specifications of a user interface. User Interface mappings are also relevant to web engineering. We have been working not just User Interface mappings for webbased systems but as well for Information Systems in general. However, we have been confronted to the mapping problem as the use of an appropriate transformation tool it still an issue in our research group. Although several transformation engines support mappings a transformation engine capable of supporting a transformational approach for ensuring model-driven engineering of user interfaces is still an open issue. This paper provides a comparative analysis of transformation engines ranging from publicly or commercially available engines to be adapted to the mapping problem to hand-coded transformation engines that we developed for the sole purpose of supporting the mapping problem. The results of the comparison let authors to identify the type of transformation engine that fits better to their skills, needs and preferences.

Selected revised papers from the Eurographics workshop review the state of the art in this area, comparing the different existing approaches to this field in order to identify the principle requirements and the most suitable notations, and indicate the meaningful results which can be obtained from them.

These techniques will allow designers to build UIs across several platforms, while respecting the unique constraints posed by each platform. In addition, these techniques willhelp designers to recognize and accommodate the unique contexts in which mobile computingoccurs.

This paper presents how a wizard tool can produce user interfaces to such tasks according to a model-driven approach based on a domain model of the information system. This process consists of seven steps: database selection, data source selection, building the opening procedure, data source selection for control widgets, building the closing procedure, setting the size of the widgets, and laying them out. The wizard generates code for Visual Basic and eMbedded Visual Basic, thus enabling to obtain support for both stationary and mobile tasks simultaneously, while maintaining consistency.

UIDL developers, designers and users are all among the potential participants. It is expected that from this exchange of discussion, a better mutual understanding will be raised to enable people to work more closely on some UIDLs rather than reproducing the same efforts in multiple locations.
