Model-Based User Interface Development Environments (MB-UIDEs) provide a context within which user interface declarative models can be constructed and related, as part of the user interface design process. This paper provides a review of MB-UIDE technologies. A framework for describing the elements of a MB-UIDE is presented. A representative collection of 14 MB-UIDEs are selected, described in terms of the framework, compared and analysed from the information available in the literature. The framework can be used as an introduction to the MB-UIDE technology since it relates and provides a description for the terms used in MB-UIDE papers.
The aim of model-based user interface development is to adopt declarative models to be used by model-based user interface design environments to build the final user interface REF .
