A process for facilitating interaction design through automated GUI generation.

A model representing an interaction design is a prerequisite for model-driven generation of graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Related state-of-the-art methodologies typically assume that a suitable interaction model is already available and do not support the exploration of design alternatives or focus on how a high-quality interaction model can be developed. Our tool-supported process facilitates the exploration and evaluation of interaction design alternatives in an iterative manner, using automated GUI generation to achieve a running application more quickly and with reduced effort in comparison to manual (prototype) development. This allows the designer to quickly find a suitable alternative. In general, this approach facilitates the development of high-quality interaction models through automated GUI generation.
