Model-Based User Interface Design (MBUID) approaches can provide a useful support in addressing this problem. In MBUID the user interface is described using various models; each describes a different facet of the user interface. Our methodology is based on task models that are attributed to derive a dialog model, from which different concrete models with different appearances can be generated. This paper presents a semi-automatic Model-Based transformational methodology for multi-platform user interface (MPUI) design. The proposed methodology puts dialog modeling in the center of the design process. A core model is integrated in the design process namely our Dialog-States Model (DSM); which represents our initial step to adapting to multiple target platforms by assigning multiple Dialog-State models to the same task model. A multi-step reification process will be taken from abstract models to more concrete models until reaching a final user interface customized according to the target platform.
