Abstract:
Creating mobile applications is a process of device speci c
programming. In this way new devices ask for new
solutions. Additionally, experts with programming skills
are necessary. There is an urgent need for more e cient
approaches. Abstract speci cations for domain-speci c
areas in combination with tool support for end-user
development seem to be a solution. This paper presents
an approach that is grounded on model-based techniques
and is focused on the domain of data collection. The
language UsiXML and corresponding platform-dependent
interpreters for this language allow to run speci cations
on di erent devices. A set of tools will be introduced that
supports the creation of model-based user interface
speci cations. Additionally, the distribution to di erent
devices is supported. In combination all these tools enable
end-users to create applications in their domain of data
collection.
