“…However, more efforts are still required to take the advantages of Modeldriven Engineering in the context of mobile application development. The recent Systematic Literature Reviews (SLR) presented in [9] and [10] prove the shortage of research works in this field. In [2], a survey of model-driven approaches for the development of mobile applications discusses only 13 research works and 4 commercial solutions.…”

The ever-increasing number of mobile platforms constitutes a challenge for application developers, who must develop efficient mobile applications for multiple platforms. Recently, a specific interest is being taken in the Model Based User Interface Development (MBUID) by Software Engineering Community. In such paradigm, an application's user interface is obtained by defining models and transformations of those models. This paper aim at adopting MBUID paradigm to address the problem of mobile application development. As such, we propose a new approach and its support system for the automatic generation of mobile user interfaces. The approach and the system are based on a set of standards and relevant technologies such as EMF, GMF, ATL, and Xpand. A case study is presented, in the paper, with the aim of verifying the usefulness of this approach.

“…After the release of the first official Android operating system, several papers have been published for applying MDE in the design and implementation of Android applications. In [28], 30 studies that applied MDE for development of mobile application are investigated. Among these studies, 11 MDE techniques, 21 tools and 8 modeling languages are identified.…”

Mobile applications and game development are attractive fields in software engineering. Despite the advancement of programming languages and integrated development environments, there have always been many challenges for software and mobile game developers. Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) is a software engineering methodology that applies software modeling languages for modeling the problem domain. In this paradigm, the code is to be automatically generated from the models by applying different model transformations. Besides, manipulating models instead of code facilitates the discovery and resolution of errors due to the high level of abstraction. This study presents an approach and framework, called MAndroid, that generates Android-based classic multiplayer 2D board games in a fully automated fashion, relying on the concepts of MDE. Structural and behavioral dimensions of the game are first modeled in MAndroid. Models are then automatically transformed to code that can be run on any mobile phone and tablet running Android 4.4 or higher. In order to evaluate the proposed approach, three board games are fully implemented. Additionally, applicability, developer performance, simplicity and attractiveness of MAndroid are evaluated through a set of questionnaires. MAndroid is also evaluated technically by comparing

An efficient and robust alarms management is an extremely desirable feature to prevent critical failures in modern Industrial Control Systems. Generally, alarm systems are categorized into two major components; i.e., Alarm Server and Alarm Client. Alarm server is responsible to process alarms on real time values, while alarm clients display the generated alarms. With the advent of modern technologies, like, Internet of Thing (IoT), the need for mobile alarm clients has significantly been increased, as alarms need to be displayed on different gadgets instead of traditional big screens. Owing to significance of alarms in the industry, several state-of-the-art approaches have been introduced, suggesting various improvements. However, such approaches are only meant for specific industry and cannot be applied across-the-board. Furthermore, full support for mobile clients is not available. On the other hand, certain industrial software products like, SIMATIC WinCC, Genesis64 provide complete alarm solution including mobile client features, as well. However, such solutions are proprietary with higher costs, i.e., pay per tag model. Considering such limitations, this article proposes a novel Model-driven Alarms Framework (MAF) with mobile clients (Android and iOS) support. Particularly, MAF comprises an Alarm Profile for Industrial Control Systems (APICS) for the modeling of server, mobile clients and configuration requirements of alarms with remarkable simplicity. Furthermore, a complete open source Alarms Profile Transformation Engine (APTE) has been implemented to automatically generate alarm server (Kotlin), native Android (Kotlin) and iOS (Swift) alarm clients from APICS-compliant models. The feasibility of proposed framework is demonstrated through two case studies (flour mill and home automation). The results prove that MAF not only provides complete alarm server solution to generate bulk of alarms simultaneously, but also supports android and iOS alarm clients for efficient visualization. Besides that, MAF is easy to use, cost-effective and can be applied in wide-ranging industrial applications.
