Summary of IFML. The Interaction Flow Modeling Language. A standard for UI modeling by OMG - Intro webinar

00:00:00 - 00:55:00

IFML is a standard for UI modeling that allows for detailed descriptions of user interactions. It is based on the identification flow model, and features navigation flows and data flows between components. Additionally, it supports reusable modules and activation expressions, which allow for event-based triggering of user interface changes.

• 00:00:00 The Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) is a standard for UI modeling, developed by OMG. This webinar discusses the motivation for developing IFML and the challenges that UI designers face when developing software applications.
• 00:05:00 The proposed Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) is designed to specify the content of user interfaces in a way that is more abstract and theoretical, while still being applicable to real-world software applications. IFML is inspired by web model notation, and has been implemented by OMG as a standard.
• 00:10:00 IFML is a standard for UI modeling that provides features such as event multiple devices component of the interface, notarization and validation. It is organized as follows: what you see is the basic say symbols of I FML, in particular, what you see now are a set of basic icons that are the most used in the notation. The first icon is what we call container, it represents any kind of graphical container that can be used in a user interface design. The purpose of container is to define the borders of the user interface. The other essential element of the language is the concept of event. An event is a happening that occurs based on something that triggers it either on the client side meaning the client machine or the user that performs some event, or on the server side because also system events are supported. The fourth core element is the concept of action. An action is nothing more than a hook to some back-end business logic that implements the some capabilities of your system. With this for very simple concept, you can already start designing your eye FML applications. These concepts are connected together with what we call flow. Flow is basically an arrow that connects in a component or a container to another component or to another container. Navigation flow is the possibility describing the possibility for
• 00:15:00 IFML is a modeling language that OMG uses for UI modeling. It is based on the identification flow model, and features navigation flows and data flows between components.
• 00:20:00 The video introduces the IML, which is a standard for UI modeling. It discusses how the IML allows for components to be connected, data to be passed between components, and actions to be executed. It also demonstrates how to model a simple interaction flow.
• 00:25:00 IFML is a standard for UI modeling that allows for more detailed descriptions of behavior. This is useful for ensuring that user interactions are correctly modeled and that business logic is not mixed in with user interface design specifications.
• 00:30:00 IFML is a standard for UI modeling, and it specifies a model that describes the language. IFML is useful for software that is largely based on data, such as software that manages email.
• 00:35:00 IFML is a language for modelling user interface designs. It has a core package and several extension packages, which allow for customisation of the language.
• 00:40:00 IFML is a standard for UI modeling that allows for detailed control over user interactions. It supports reusable modules and activation expressions, which allow for event-based triggering of user interface changes.
• 00:45:00 IFML is a language for modeling user interactions, and is designed to be more personal and context-aware than traditional UML models. This opens up opportunities for applications that take into account the size or type of device the user is using, as well as their position. Additionally, IFML has a formal and official definition of its syntax, and is supported by UML profiles for other modeling languages. This gives software developers the ability to model their interactions in a single tool, and across different domains.
• 00:50:00 IFML is a comprehensive modeling language that allows for the design of user interfaces using components and flows of navigation. The tooling offered by Web Ratio allows for the generation of code for professional development.
• 00:55:00 IFML is a standard for UI modeling, and it can be used to create the same behavior in the official FML editor as well as in web ratio. Additionally, IFML is more legible and attractive than traditional UI modeling notation.
