A Web UI Modeling Approach Supporting Model-Driven Software Development

摘要

Model-driven software development has become a tendency in software engineering. However, Web user interfaces have the characteristics of the customization but frequently renewing, which makes traditional software development approach not suitable for the design requirements of Web pages. To solve the problems of the development of Web user interface, and focusing on the characteristics of Web application, a user interface modeling approach is proposed on the basis of interface template and XML technology. Web user interfaces are described in a direct-viewing style with graphics at the model level. The approach can provide an effective support for model-driven software development.
