Abstract
User interfaces (UI) for data systems has been a technical and human interaction research question for a long time. Today these user interfaces require dynamic automation and run-time generation to properly deal with on a large-scale. This paper presents an agent-based framework, i.e., a methodological process, a meta-model and a computer software to drive the automatic database user interface design and code behind generation from the task model, context model and domain model combined together. This includes both the user interface and the basic functions of the database application.
