Abstract Interface

In ubiquitous computing, the context of use (user, platform, environment) is in a permanent change. This has brought about new challenges in the Human Computer Interface (HCI) engineering to obtain User Interfaces (UI) that are compliant to their context of use. This paper has benefitted from the interests of parameterized principle transformation in the framework of the Model Driven Engineering (MDE) to propose approaches based on the models for the generation of the adaptable UI. It provides meta-models for the various components of the context of use which plays the role of the transformation parameter of the abstract interface into a concrete interface. It is through a case study of an information system of industrial supervision that the approach is shown to be reliable.

Important Challenge

Software applications have been identified as potentially suitable tools to assist older adults in several aspects of their lives, like healthcare, emotional support and personal security. However, developing usable and useful applications for this population represents an important challenge, given that no systematic solutions have been proposed to support such a process. This article hypothesizes that a model-driven engineering (MDE) approach can help generate suitable user interfaces for elderly people, making the development process repeatable and allowing the systematic reuse of design knowledge about products for these end-users. To determine the validity of such hypothesis, the article presents the results of a case study where a healthcare supporting system for older adults, developed by using an MDE approach, was evaluated in four older adult care centers. The results obtained were highly positive, showing MDE as a possible path to address systematically the development of these applications.

Wide Range

With advances in HCI and AI, and increasing prevalence of commercial social robots and chatbots, humans are communicating with computer interfaces for various applications in a wide range of settings. Kissenger is designed to bring HCI to the populist masses. In order to investigate the role of robotic kissing using the Kissenger device in HCI, the authors conducted a modified version of the imitation game described by Alan Turing by including the use of the kissing machine. Results show that robotic kissing has no effect on the winning rates of the male and female players during human-human communication, but it increases the winning rate of the female player when a chatbot is involved in the game.

The model driven engineering and generative programming are revolutionizing software development just as automation and computerization revolutionized the manufacturing process. The key technologies of these approaches are the model transformations, and development in the XML technologies. In this paper the authors show the contribution of these two techniques in the implementation of LMSGENERATOR, a Multi-target Learning management system generator with a model-driven methodology based on MDA approach coupled with component approach. Based on generative programming, from user specifications (abstract models) and the desired technologies, software bricks will be generated and assembled to produce a complete solution adapted to the area and the users’ needs. This paper focuses on the transformation rules implemented in the LMSGENERATOR cores, in particular the transformation of a detailed UML class diagram, representing a business model, into the LMS Business component. Thus, the authors show the role of programming in model transformations through the use of API manipulating UML diagrams and XML files. Also this work presents a case study to illustrate this proposed plan.

AbstractIn 2017 and 2018, two events were held—in Marburg, Germany, and San Vigilio di Marebbe, Italy, respectively—focusing on an analysis of the state of research, state of practice, and state of the art in model-driven engineering (MDE). The events brought together experts from industry, academia, and the open-source community to assess what has changed in research in MDE over the last 10 years, what challenges remain, and what new challenges have arisen. This article reports on the results of those meetings, and presents a set of grand challenges that emerged from discussions and synthesis. These challenges could lead to research initiatives for the community going forward.
