Paper Abstract:
|
Fluent and impressive user interfaces (UI) have become more important, especially in mobile applications. This creates challenges for updating and modernizing UIs. As a whole, this can make software management and maintenance more difficult. This paper presents an approach to distribute UIs created with declarative languages based on languages such as Extensible Markup Language (XML) and JavaScript. These can be used for rapidly designing and implementing graphical content in mobile and desktop applications. The main focus of this paper is on the possibility of using adapter software and a centralized management system to update UIs dynamically. The proposed approach is explained using two example cases. The presented cases describe how to retrieve UI embedded with content, and show how the same approach can be used to distribute software updates. |
