Summary: | Building and maintaining a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for Enterprise Information Systems usually requires much Software Engineering staff time and effort. This paper describes a model-driven approach to create dynamically and manage these GUIs. In this approach, the Software Engineer designs conceptual models of the information system using object-oriented meta-models. A set of predefined mapping rules is applied to automatically transform and refine the conceptual models in order to generate, in runtime, the look and feel of the GUI, without source code creation. This improves the software usability, assuring consistency and homogeneity of the GUI, increases the productivity of the software engineering staff and simplifies maintenance. In our experiments we have observed an average productivity fifteen times higher than traditional methods of GUI development. |
