Abstract

The user interface development method based on model driven architecture can effectively solve the problem that different platform-specific user interfaces have to be developed for the same application when the application needs to run on different platforms. This method firstly designs the platform-independent model (PIM) of the user interface, then transforms the PIM into a variety of mainstream platform-specific model (PSM) automatically or semi-automatically, and finally transforms the PSM to a platform specific code. The user interface transformation method from PIM to PSM is presented in this paper. Firstly, a user interface PSM meta-model is defined. Secondly, the mapping rules of PIM elements to PSM elements are defined in the meta-model level, and the transformation algorithm from PIM to PSM is designed. To verify the effectiveness of the method, we implemented a user interface software development tool which supports the transformation from PIM to PSM based on EMF and GMF.

基于MDA的用户界面转换方法研究

基于模型驱动体系结构的用户界面开发方法可以有效地解决同一应用程序在不同平台上运行时需要为其开发不同平台特定用户界面的问题。该方法首先设计用户界面的平台无关模型(PIM)，然后自动或半自动地将PIM转换为各种主流的平台特定模型(PSM)，最后将PSM转换为平台特定代码。提出了从PIM到PSM的用户界面转换方法。首先，定义了用户界面PSM元模型。其次，在元模型层面定义了PIM元素到PSM元素的映射规则，设计了PIM到PSM的转换算法;为了验证该方法的有效性，我们实现了一个用户界面软件开发工具，该工具支持基于EMF和GMF的从PIM到PSM的转换。
