Proposed User Interface Generation for Software Product Lines Engineering

Abstract

Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) is an approach that enables user to create multiple products in a single development. The combination of features in a SPLE application causes variation in the user interface. It needs an adaptive user interface with each configuration of the selected features. Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) is a modeling language of Object Management Group (OMG), used to model User Interface (UI) of an application. Using IFML as a modeling language, an abstract UI model will be created to model each feature of the SPLE application. This study uses AISCO (Adaptive Information System for Charity Organizations) as a real case study. This research aims to analyze SPLE application modeling using abstract UI model model and propose a new strategy to generate UI in SPLE. The result of this research is the process of generating UI using IFML in SPLE.
