“…Another important number of extensions are intended to model certain aspects of some specific kinds of processes, which cannot be completely supported with the current SPEM specification. For instance, processes based on agile practices [26], agent-oriented [27] methodologies, or user interface development methods [28].…”

SUMMARYSoftware process engineering is a discipline, which aims to study and improve software development and maintenance processes. The explicit definition of software processes is essential. To this end, the Object Management Group consortium proposed the Software & Systems Process Engineering Meta-Model (SPEM) that exploits the benefits of the Model Driven Architecture paradigm applied to software process models, instead of software specification models. The aim of this study is to discover evidence clusters and evidence deserts in the use and application of SPEM from a business process management point of view. To reach the proposed objective, we have undertaken a systematic mapping study of the existing scientific literature.The reviewed literature deals mainly with process modeling and, to a lesser extent, with process adaptability, verification, and validation, enactment and evaluation. Wide agreement exists in using the SPEM meta-model to develop different types of methods and processes. Further research efforts are needed in areas related to enactment and evaluation of software processes. There is a need to evolve to a new version of the meta-model that incorporates the improvements proposed by different authors.

“…Examples of these from the literature are as follows: (a) models as basis for the user interface generation [16,21], (b) methods used for the user interface generation [38], (c) tools supporting the generation process [23], (d) the final user interface [34], or (e) multi-modality [5,15]. These aspects are important, but do not cover the whole user interface adaptation process as described in Section 3 and hence do not fulfill our intended purpose.…”

Abstract. There are a number of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) services that can be used to increase quality of life of older adults and persons with special needs. Unfortunately, there is often a mismatch between the offered services and their user-friendliness, hindering their use and reducing their utility. One of the most important factors is the ability to provide accessible, attractive and user-friendly interaction. In this study, three systems for the design of flexible user interfaces are compared based on a generic framework. The framework introduces a multi-step adaptation process, the concept of context of use and the distinction between adaptable and adaptive user interfaces. The three systems -AALuis, GPII/URC and universAALare independently presented and compared by means of ten framework-related criteria. The analysis of the systems reveals similarities (e.g., context of use, resource provision, and commitment to standards) and differences (e.g., abstract description of the user interfaces, generation of user interfaces or pluggable user interfaces and maintenance of the user model). This paper shows for each system where it is best suited in terms of application areas and desired system features. There is a need for further research to work towards harmonization between the systems and their application areas so that they may mutually benefit from each others' strengths.

Abstract. Holistic methods for Model-Driven Development (MDD) aim to model all the system features in a conceptual model. This conceptual model is the input for a model compiler that can generate software systems by means of automatic transformations. However, in general, MDD methods focus on modelling the structure and functionality of systems, relegating the interaction and usability features to manual implementations at the last steps of the software development process. Some usability features are strongly related to the functionality of the system and their inclusion is not so easy. In order to facilitate the inclusion of functional usability features from the first steps of the development process and bring closer MDD methods to the holistic perspective, we propose a Usability Model. The Usability Model gathers conceptual primitives that represent functional usability features in a sufficiently abstract way so that the model can be used with different holistic MDD methods. This paper defines all the primitives that can be used to represent functional usability features. Moreover, we have defined a process to include the Usability Model in any MDD method without affecting its existing conceptual model. The proposal is based on model-to-model and model-to-code transformations. As proof of concept, we have applied our proposal to an existing MDD method called OOMethod and we have measured its efficiency.
