Front-end design of mobile applications is a complex and multidisciplinary task, where many perspectives intersect and the user experience must be perfectly tailored to the application objectives. However, development of mobile user interactions is still largely a manual task, which yields to high risks of errors, inconsistencies and inefficiencies. The contribution of the AutoMobile research … Continue reading Mobile app development – Extensions for IFML modelling language, tool and code generator presented at MobiWIS

IFML – Interaction Flow Modeling Language 1.0 – My tutorial on UI and UX modeling & design at ICWE 2014
This year, ICWE - International Conference on Web Engineering, took place in Toulouse, France. Given the upcoming adoption by the OMG - Object Management Group of IFML, I decided to give a tutorial on it there. IFML, the Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) is designed for expressing content, user interaction and control behaviour of the … Continue reading IFML – Interaction Flow Modeling Language 1.0 – My tutorial on UI and UX modeling & design at ICWE 2014
IFML 1.0: Interaction Flow Modeling Language approved by the OMG
After three years of work, IFML 1.0 is finally approved by the OMG! The Interaction Flow Modeling Language was actually adopted one year ago, in March 2013, as Beta specification by the Object Management Group (OMG). Since then, the IFML Finalization Task Force worked hard to bring the specification to perfection. The OMG Architecture Board … Continue reading IFML 1.0: Interaction Flow Modeling Language approved by the OMG
Sneak peek at IFML 1.0 (the Interaction Flow Modeling Language) by the OMG
IFML 1.0 is almost here! As you may know by now, the OMG standard Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) is designed for expressing the content, user interaction and control behaviour of the front-end (aka view) of software applications. And if you don't know anything about IFML, you can just visit www.ifml.org or have a look at … Continue reading Sneak peek at IFML 1.0 (the Interaction Flow Modeling Language) by the OMG
The Automobile project delves into the core of model-driven mobile apps
Starting October 2013, my research group at Politecnico di Milano and WebRatio have started a research project called Automobile, which aims at designing and bringing to the market innovative methodologies, software tools, and vertical applications for the cost-effective implementation of cross-platform, multi-device mobile applications, i.e. business applications that can be accessed by users on a variety … Continue reading The Automobile project delves into the core of model-driven mobile apps
IFML – the Interaction Flow Modeling Language, moves on to Beta2
After 6 months from its adoption, IFML moves on to a new, cleaned up version, named IFML Beta2.The new version is the result of the feedback collected in these months from our partners, customers, researchers and developers, that are putting IFML at work in tools (primarily WebRatio) and at customers. This reality check phase is … Continue reading IFML – the Interaction Flow Modeling Language, moves on to Beta2
The IFML tour – Part 2
After reporting on my recent tour presenting IFML in the US, I wish to mention my last IFML trips. I have been invited in two remarkable venues for presenting IFML:at the University of Luxembourg (research group of Lionel Briand) and at the Luxembourg office for informatization of the public administration.at the MUMIA COST Action meeting … Continue reading The IFML tour – Part 2
Videos of the Webinars on IFML and its integration with BPMN and UML
Along with the effort of disseminating IFML all around the world, I also gave some online webinars on IFML (the Interaction Flow Modeling Language). If you are interested in learning the basics of the language and on its integration with BPMN and UML, together with the enabled code generation options, you may want to watch … Continue reading Videos of the Webinars on IFML and its integration with BPMN and UML
Mobile, Cloud, BPM through MDD for fostering the business. Presentation at SMAU 2013
Yesterday, together with Matteo Sassi from WebRatio, I gave a seminar at SMAU 2013 on applying model-driven engineering solutions to Mobile, Cloud, and BPM technologies for fostering the business.The main message is that MDD and MDE can dramatically increase efficiency, flexibility and effectiveness of the enterprise by letting it address better the needs of the … Continue reading Mobile, Cloud, BPM through MDD for fostering the business.
