Overview of a Model-to-Code transformation approach for generating Service-based interactive applications for Google Android

This paper reports on an approach for generating interactive applications for Google Android within a model-driven development chain. The described model-to-code transformation is used within a methodology applying a visual authoring approach of interactive applications upon service infrastructures. The central contribution of this paper is a proof-of-concept that the meta-model developed for this approach to describe complete service-based interactive applications and intended to express models close to the final platforms can be applied to the generation of fat clients running on mobile devices.
