Automatic Generation of User Interfaces from Domain and Use Case Models

In this paper, we envision an approach for the automatic generation of a user interface (UI) prototype from a system domain model (or core model), that captures the main domain entities and transactions, and a system use case model, which captures the intended user tasks. This prototype allows the early validation of executable core system models, and can be used as a basis for subsequent developments. The envisioned solution uses OCL to add preciseness and semantic richness both to the domain and use case UML models. The generated UI provides some usability enhancements that are derived from the model's pre-conditions.
