Abstract:

Learning from Model Driven Architecture（MDA）, a model-driven development method for multi-platform mobile user interface is studied. The mobile user interface conceptual model represented by mobile IFML（Interaction Flow Modeling Language） is a Platform-Independent Model（PIM）. Based on that, this paper focuses on the transformation method from PIM to Platform-Specific Model（PSM）, i.e. the user interface code. The mapping rules are defined and a transformation algorithm is designed, then a software tool supporting the transformation and code generation is implemented based on Eclipse platform. With this tool, users can just design the PIM with ease, which then can be automatically or semi-automatically transformed to platform-specific user interface code.

Key words: mobile user interface, conceptual model, mapping rules, model transformation

摘要：

针对移动用户界面需在多种平台上重复开发的问题，借鉴模型驱动架构（Model Driven Architecture，MDA）思想，研究模型驱动的移动用户界面开发方法。用Mobile IFML（Interaction Flow Modeling Language）表示移动用户界面概念模型，即平台无关的移动用户界面模型。在此基础上，重点研究移动用户界面概念模型到特定平台用户界面代码的转换，定义了映射规则并设计了转换算法，最后基于Eclipse平台实现了一个支持代码生成的工具原型。用户借助该工具可方便地设计移动用户界面概念模型，随后概念模型可自动或半自动地转换为特定平台用户界面代码。
