Tool Support for Handling Mapping Rules from Domain to Task Models

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 4385))

Abstract

The success of model-based approaches to user interface design depends on the ability to solve the mapping problem as well as on the availability of tools able to reduce the effort of establishing and maintaining of links between models throughout the development life cycle. In this paper a tool supporting a small set of mapping rules is presented. The tool enables the designer to produce task model fragments at operational level based on the patterns of mapping between task and domain models. The task model fragments are generated in XML format and can be further loaded in task modeling tools like CTTE or Teresa.
