Conclusion: Conclusion: Some questions to open discussionSome questions to open discussion
Support of UI-Designer or UI-Constructor ?– What kind of user interface does we have to the modelling
languages ? (UI for dialogue designer)
– What range of applications does the modelling languages support ?
TADEUS’ answer:– graphical tools under development
– application area: information systems (business application), TADEUS itself

Conclusion: Conclusion: Some questions to open discussionSome questions to open discussion
Automatic generation - Does it really support ?– What is the relation between modelling effort and quality of
automatic generation result ?
– Which steps of user interface generation can be done in a fully automatic way ?
TADEUS’ answer:– quality of generation result is good , but modelling effort is
high (in the restricted application area)

Conclusion: Conclusion: Some questions to open discussionSome questions to open discussion
Automatic generation - Does it really support ?– How to properly integrate the generated User Interface and
the functional core ?
– How to to update the declarative models, if the dialogue designer improves the generated UI by hand ?
TADEUS’ answer:– the destination UIMS allows the independent development
of the user interface and functional core
– generation of different solutions from which the designer can select the best one

Conclusion: Conclusion: Some questions to open discussionSome questions to open discussion
• How to perform a re-generation of a User Interface when requirements change ?
• How to reverse engineer an existing User Interface to do a generation ?
