Abstract

To accomplish developing mobile web applications on variety of mobile execution environments, we propose Pervasive User interface Markup Language (PUML) describing user interfaces for applications on the small devices, and Pervasive loGic Markup Language (PGML) representing the computational logic of the applications. Furthermore, we exploit the XSLT/XPath transformation mechanism to transform documents of PUML/PGML into the target languages, and evaluate them by implementing toolkit and runtime service applications. In Brief, our paper contributes an XML-based application model to assist mobile application developers.
