Abstract
The Unified Modeling Language is mainly being used to communicate about the design of a software system. In recent years, the language is increasingly being used to specify models that can be used for partial code generation. These efforts are mainly focussed on the generation of the application structure. It has been used to a lesser extend to model the interaction with the user and the user interface. In this paper, we introduce CUP 2.0, a Unified Modeling Language profile for high-level modeling of context-sensitive interactive applications. The profile was created to ease communication about the design of these applications between human-computer interaction specialists and software engineers. We further argue that the data provided by the models, suffices to (semi-) automatically create interactive low-fidelity prototypes that can be used for evaluation.
