A survey of model driven engineering tools for user interface design
Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Task models and diagrams for user interface design, page 84--97. Berlin/Heidelberg, Springer-Verlag, (2007)Abstract
The introduction of new technologies leads to a more and more complex interactive systems design. In order to describe the future interactive system, the human computer interaction (HCI) domain uses specific models and tools. In another way, the Model Driven Engineering (MDE) approach has been proposed in software engineering domain in order to provide techniques and tools for dealing with models in an automated way. MDE approach is based on models, meta-models, models transformation and models weaving and aims to produce productive models, i.e. models concentrated on their generative power. Considering these two domains and the already existing HCI works in MDE, the goal of this paper is to understand actual HCI design needs and to study how MDE tools can support HCI needs. As a first response, it proposes a survey of existing MDE tools in regards to HCI model management.
