Interaction Flow Modeling Language

Model-Driven UI Engineering of Web and Mobile Apps with IFML

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Interaction Flow Modeling Language describes how to apply model-driven techniques to the problem of designing the front end of software applications, i.e., the user interaction. The book introduces the reader to the novel OMG standard Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML). Authors Marco Brambilla and Piero Fraternali are authors of the IFML standard and wrote this book to explain the main concepts of the language. They effectively illustrate how IFML can be applied in practice to the specification and implementation of complex web and mobile applications, featuring rich interactive interfaces, both browser based and native, client side components and widgets, and connections to data sources, business logic components and services.

Interaction Flow Modeling Language provides you with unique insight into the benefits of engineering web and mobile applications with an agile model driven approach. Concepts are explained through intuitive examples, drawn from real-world applications. The authors accompany you in the voyage from visual specifications of requirements to design and code production. The book distills more than twenty years of practice and provides a mix of methodological principles and concrete and immediately applicable techniques.

Rezensionen

"...a timely attempt to add value to software engineering process modeling exercises with a specific emphasis on establishing uniformity of the interaction style and usability of the interface...very systematic in approaching the modeling exercise by defining its belief systems... and then binding all these for better user interfaces." --Computing Reviews
