Role of Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) in the Development of Ubiquitous Web Applications (UWAs)

Abstract

During the revolution of webs, several modern web applications appeared. After developing electronic devices, Ubiquitous web applications (UWA) becomes an important part of web applications. UWAs are a new type of web applications which are accessed in various contexts, meaning through different devices, by users with various interests, at any time from any place around the globe. The problem is UWA features made challenge during the process development of web engineering methods. Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) is the recent modeling language has many concepts for developing interactions in web applications compared with other web engineering methods. In this paper, we present the role of IFML method to develop UWA features through analyzing IFML and designing a case study. The result of this paper becomes a guide for developers and increase the usability of IFML.
