A Language and a Methodology for Prototyping User Interfaces for Control Systems

Abstract

Abstract. The BATIC 3 S project 5 (Building Adaptive Three-dimensional Interfaces for Controlling Complex Control Systems) proposes a methodology to prototype adaptive graphical user interfaces (GUI) for control systems. We present a domain specific language for the control systems domain, including useful and understandable abstractions for domain experts. This is coupled with a methodology for validation, verification and automatic GUI prototype generation. The methodology is centered on metamodel-based techniques and model transformations, and its foundations rely on formal models. Our approach is based on the assumption that a GUI can be induced from the characteristics of the system to control.

“…Besides the BATIC3S [15] project, there exists not so many evidence of successful application of MDD solutions in the SLE of a DSML. Nevertheless, related MDD approaches already have been introduced to the Game Industry before.…”
