Providing personalized information in transport systems: A Model Driven Architecture approach

Abstract

Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is being largely explored for the development of computer systems thanks to its capability of code generation from abstract models and transformations. The Human-Computer Interaction community is also profiting from this technology to generate interface for different technologies (e.g. tablets, mobile, desktop, etc.) using the conceptual models. This paper presents a MDA approach to generate transport systems interfaces with personalized information. To do so, context model and domain ontology are used as the core of the interface design. The interface designing models can be therefore reused to generate software application for different platforms providing the pertinent information when the system is used.
