All mandatory requirements
All optional requirements:• Modularization • Input validation
Missing discussions:• Mapping to PSM• Examples on integrated usage with UML
Coverage of requirements
6
A MOF-compliant metamodel which describes the user interaction within front-end interfaces, their constituents, and their connections with back-end business components, data storage and Web Services.
• DONE (refinements ongoing)
An intuitive concrete syntax for the interaction flow notation. • DONE (graphical)• (textual not covered)
A UML Profile consistent to the metamodel.• DONE
A complete mapping between the UML Profile and the metamodel.• DONE
An interchange format between tools using XMI.• DONE
Mandatory requirements
7
Multiple views for the same application
Support for mobile and multi-device applications
view components: the visualization and input of data, and the production of events.
view components shall be independent of • the concrete widgets at PS level• the presentation aspects
interaction flow, initiated by the user or by external events, in terms of: 1. a source component;
2. possibly, a reference to an action flow model specifying the actions triggered by the event; 3) one or more target view modules and components that are presented as the result of the interaction.
Extensibility for components
User context: the user status in the current instant of the interaction (position, history, machine, platform,…)
Mandatory application requirements
