  • METHOD FOR GENERATING ROLE-BASED USER INTERFACES UTILIZING UML MODELS
    Publication number: 20090319923
    Abstract: This disclosure proposes a set of rules for modeling that enable the generation of complete UI implementations at varying levels of abstraction. It also describes an engine that can interpret these rules and generate said UI. It differs from the prior art as it is not dependent on the raw data structure from the database but rather allows the concepts and objects a user interacts with to be modeled and mapped. It provides an additional level of sophistication allowing role-based customization and layout styles.
