ABSTRACT
Automatic generation of user interfaces (UIs) has made some progress, but it still faces many challenges, especially when starting from high-level models. We developed an approach and a supporting tool for modeling discourses, from which the tool can generate WIMP (window, icon, menu, pointer) UIs automatically. This involves several complex steps, most of which we have been able to implement using model-driven transformations. When given specific target platform specifications, UIs for a variety of devices such as PCs, mobile phones and PDAs can be generated automatically.

Semi-automatic multimodal user interface generation
EICS '09: Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGCHI symposium on Engineering interactive computing systemsMultimodal applications are typically developed together with their user interfaces, leading to a tight coupling. Additionally, human-computer interaction is often less considered. This potentially results in a worse user interface when additional ...
Fully automatic generation of web user interfaces for multiple devices from a high-level model based on communicative acts
The problems involved in the development of web User Interfaces (UIs) become even more severe through the ubiquitous use of a variety of devices such as PCs, mobile phones and PDAs. Each of these devices has its own characteristics that require a ...
A metamodel-based approach for automatic user interface generation
MODELS'10: Proceedings of the 13th international conference on Model driven engineering languages and systems: Part IOne of the advantages of following a MDA-based approach in the development of interactive applications is the possibility of generating multiple platform-specific user interfaces (UI) from the same platform independent UI model. However, the effort ...
