Past, Present, and Future of Model-Based User Interface Development

Abstract This article presents the past, present and future of model-based user interface development. After 30 years of research there has been significant success in modeling user interfaces. This article aims to give a comprehensive overview of the history, describes important aspects and current approaches, lists actual challenges of model-based user interface development and gives implications for the next generation. Zusammenfassung Dieser Artikel gibt einen Überblick über die letzten 30 Jahre der Forschung im Bereich der modellbasierten Entwicklung von Benutzungsschnittstellen. Dazu wird zunächst die Geschichte aufgearbeitet, bevor wesentliche Konzepte und aktuelle Ansätze beschrieben werden. Der letzte Abschnitt zeigt aktuelle Herausforderungen auf und gibt Implikationen, wie diesen zukünftig begegnet werden kann.
