“…While they show that it is possible to generate acceptable results there is an agreement that manual customization is often still desirable. An important approach besides our work to support such manual customization is [22]: It presents visual tool support to specify presentation units and their content within a MDD process. However, other UI aspects like the navigation are not considered yet in this approach.…”

One of the main benefits of model-driven development of User Interfaces (UIs) is the increase in efficiency and consistency when developing multiple variants of a UI. For instance, multiple UIs for different target users, platforms, devices, or for whole product families can be generated from the same abstract models. However, purely generated UIs are not always sufficient as there is often need for customizing the individual UI variants, e.g., due to usability issues or specific customer requirements.In this paper we present a model-driven approach for the development of UI families with systematic support for customizations. The approach supports customizing all aspects of a UI (UI elements, screens, navigation, etc.) and storing the customizations in specific models. As a result, a UI family can be evolved more efficiently because individual UI variants can be re-generated (after some changes have been applied to the family) without losing any previously made customizations. We demonstrate this by thirty highly customized real-world products from a commercial family of web information systems called HIS-GX/QIS.

Abstract. Data management is continuously evolving for serving the needs of an increasingly connected society. New challenges apply not only to systems and technology, but also to the models and abstractions for capturing new application requirements. In this paper, we describe several models and abstractions which have been progressively designed to capture new forms of data-centered interactions in the last twentyfive years -a period of huge changes due to the spreading of web-based applications and the increasingly relevant role of social interactions. We initially focus on Web-based applications for individuals, then discuss applications among enterprises, then we discuss how these applications may include rankings which are computed using services or using crowds; we conclude with hints to a recent research discussing how social sources can be used for capturing emerging knowledge.

“…However, we will use the information flow of workflow boards to generate the exchange of one view or parts of it by another. The user interface design will, like in [12] be carried out with graphical design. However, the approach introduced in [12] is designed for Enterprise Applications using Eclipse and SWT rather than web applications.…”

Abstract. Today's browsers, tools and Internet connections enable the growth of Enterprise Web Applications. These applications are no longer page-based and designed using HTML code. Enterprise Web Applications bring the capabilities and concepts of traditional desktop applications to the browser. We are used to the development of desktop applications for years and have defined our own process to enable the full model-driven development of applications without source code. Using this process and its tools, we are able to define not only data models for traditional applications and generate code out of it. Combined with the story-driven modeling approach, we are able to design the logic of applications using models and generate fully functional code. To use our knowledge and tools as well as our usual process for the development of Enterprise Web Applications, we investigated our process and adapted it to the new needs. As result we propose a new development process that combines the needs of complex software development with the implementation of web user interfaces and control flows between these user interfaces. The process is a guideline to use models and tools for the development of complex Enterprise Web Applications including data model, behaviour and user interface.
