User interface generation with OlivaNova model execution system

ABSTRACT

This demo proposal shows the capabilities for user interface code generation provided by OlivaNova Model Execution System (ONME). This system is based on the conceptual pattern language Just-UI for user interface specification. The suite comprises a modeling tool, a model validator and code generators to transform specification to source code ready to run.
