Supporting transformations across user interface descriptions at various abstraction levels

Abstract

Model-based approaches for user interfaces exploit various models in order to represent interactive systems at different levels of abstraction. During the design and development process, it is useful to have transformations to derive higher or lower level models. Such transformations should be customizable by designers to reach the desired results. In this paper we present a tool that allows designers without deep knowledge of transformation languages in creating and executing such transformations. © 2011 IFIP International Federation for Information Processing.
