Raise your level of abstraction

Conference User Model

I've posted a few diagrams from a UML user model based on the conference app example a few people used at the conference: http://jtlog.wordpress.com/2011/06/02/conference-user-model/

I would be really interested to know what people think of this approach to UI code generation.

I think this approach points very much into the right direction - it is very similar to what we're following in our product. Some links you might be interested in:

- discussion here in MDSN about what can be done with MDx:

- a process modelling notation which also uses objects to describe tasks (and i applicable for as well "micro tasks" within the UI as possibly long running "macro tasks" in workflows)

http://www.ubpml.org

- a paper about modelling of ui requirements with processes (in german, but the images should be more or less readable):

I'm happy to discuss any of these aspects in more detail, if you like.

Andreas
