Abstract

In this paper, we propose an approach for the model-driven development of portable applications that use native device features. A model is based on a finite-state machine which specifies GUIs, transitions and data-flow among application screens. The source code is generated starting from that model. The state application logic is described by JavaScript. The approach has been developed within an integrated development environment.
