“…The PIM is transformed to the platform-specific model (PSM) and then, by using different model-to-text transformations, the graphical user interface of the Android application is generated automatically. A DSL for automatic generation of GUI independent of the target platform is introduced in [36]. However, the approach is limited to support GUI features and currently supports Android platform.…”

Mobile applications and game development are attractive fields in software engineering. Despite the advancement of programming languages and integrated development environments, there have always been many challenges for software and mobile game developers. Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) is a software engineering methodology that applies software modeling languages for modeling the problem domain. In this paradigm, the code is to be automatically generated from the models by applying different model transformations. Besides, manipulating models instead of code facilitates the discovery and resolution of errors due to the high level of abstraction. This study presents an approach and framework, called MAndroid, that generates Android-based classic multiplayer 2D board games in a fully automated fashion, relying on the concepts of MDE. Structural and behavioral dimensions of the game are first modeled in MAndroid. Models are then automatically transformed to code that can be run on any mobile phone and tablet running Android 4.4 or higher. In order to evaluate the proposed approach, three board games are fully implemented. Additionally, applicability, developer performance, simplicity and attractiveness of MAndroid are evaluated through a set of questionnaires. MAndroid is also evaluated technically by comparing

“…Many approaches try to focus only on Android and iOS, which are currently dominating the market. This is the case of academic approaches such as MD2 [16], Chen et al's [5], Sabraoui et al's [24], AXIOM [14], Perchat, Desertot and Lecomte's [22], MOPPET [28] [23], and industry initiatives such as REACT NATIVE 16 , NATIVESCRIPT 17 , Flutter 18 and XAMARIN 19 .…”

“…It uses a classification algorithm to identify the components in one platform and then generates corresponding elements in the other platform. Sabraoui et al [24] use MDD to develop the GUI platform independently. A DSL is used to model the interface, programmed using a grammar written in XText.…”

“…For example, most smartphones are capable of obtaining their positions from GPS satellites, therefore they will probably be able to provide a compatible implementation for function getGPSPosition. But a desktop or portable computer does not have a GPS receiver, therefore it will not be able to implement this function 24 . As discussed before, the approach does not assume that all platforms will run identical versions of the entire system, therefore not all global functions will be implemented by all platforms.…”

Cross-platform development solutions can help to make software available on different devices and platforms. But these are normally restricted to preconfigured platforms and consider that each individual solution is equal or similar to each other. As a result, developers have to resort to native development and build individual solutions, one for each device/platform, that cooperate to deliver the desired global functionality. This article presents an approach that takes advantage of existing solutions and have support for extending and including new platforms, and distributing functionality across devices. The approach is based on a general-purpose language that raises the abstraction level in order to keep the software free from platform details. Automatic transformations produce executable code that can be properly divided and deployed separately into different platforms. The proposed approach was evaluated in four ways. In the first evaluation, an existing cross-platform system was recreated using the approach. The second and third evaluations was conducted with expert and novice developers, who tested the approach in practice. The fourth evaluation introduced support for cross-platform testing. Results have brought evidence supporting the following main contributions: use of a single environment, the ability to reuse similar concepts between platforms and the potential to reduce costs.

“…Model-based development (MDD) has been used in the literature [6]- [8] in order to simplify the development of applications and increase productivity. It is a development paradigm which according to Stephen et al [9], consists in building the model of a system and then generate a real instance of this system from the obtained model.…”

In this paper, we dealt with the rapid development of client web applications (frontend) in a context where development frameworks are legion. In effect with the digital transformation due to the COVID-19 pandemic we are witnessing an ever-increasing demand of the application development in a relatively short time. To this is added the lack of skilled developers on constantly evolving technologies. We therefore offer a low-code platform for the automatic generation of client web applications, regardless of the platform or framework chosen. First, we defined an interface design methodology based on a portal. We then implemented our model driven architecture which consisted of defining a modeling and templating language, centered on user data, flexible enough to not only be used in various fields but also be easily used by a citizen developer.
