Topic: minutes from last meeting
14:07:40 [dsr]
Fabio says Jose took minutes, Dave to ask Jose for a copy to link from web page
14:08:39 [dsr]
Topic: Guest appearance by Gottfried Zimmerman
14:08:55 [dsr]
Dave invites Gottfried to introduce himself.
14:09:33 [dsr]
Gottfried is experience with UI work and is current unemployed. He was at the Univ. Wisconsin for 3 years.
14:09:49 [dsr]
Have sent details to the public MBUI page.
14:10:40 [dsr]
Worked on an ISO standard.
14:11:28 [DS]
DS has joined #mbui
14:12:34 [dsr]
Interested in open standards for UI. Now back in Germany. I have worked with a number of clients including MERL (Mitsubishi), working on task modelling standard.
14:13:57 [Gottfried]
www.i2home.org
14:13:57 [dsr]
Currently I am the technical coordinator for an EU Project I2Home.
14:15:32 [dsr]
I am also working with the Univ of Tubingen.
14:17:04 [dsr]
Fabio: which part of ISO are you associated with?
14:17:23 [dsr]
Gottfried: ISO USA ...
14:17:26 [Gottfried]
ISO/IEC JTC1 SC35 User Interface
14:19:21 [dsr]
Topic: Use cases
14:20:00 [dsr]
Sebastian sent email today, he has added a use case to the MBUI wiki and invites review.
14:20:41 [dsr]
Fabio: in a recent project we looked at use cases in a home scenario, we could add some details on this if you like.
14:21:57 [dsr]
Daniel: Please add a brief description of the use case with a pointer to the paper. A one page summary for each use case would be helpful.
14:23:29 [dsr]
Jo: I would love to have a summary as in wikipedia with links to more information.
14:25:01 [dsr]
Fabio: my example is very similar to the one from Siemens.
14:25:37 [Gottfried]
C-Lab Paderborn, Markus Dubielzig
14:25:43 [dsr]
Is Sebastian involved in the I2Home project, no.
14:27:17 [dsr]
Dave encourages people to add more use cases, as this will be important for explaining our work to people outside of the XG.
14:27:43 [dsr]
Daniel: what is the scope for our work as that will determine what kinds of use cases are relevant.
14:28:09 [dsr]
We should try to focus on a connection to the Web given that the XG is part of W3C.
14:29:22 [dsr]
For example, if the application is based on URIs that can be used to access resources.
14:32:06 [dsr]
Dave gives a short summary - essentially use cases relating to how model-based UI could apply to web applications, but not just conventional web pages. The web of things is an important new application areas.
14:32:58 [dsr]
We invite Daniel to start a page on the Wiki on scope for use cases.
14:33:20 [DS]
Here is an example of a web appllcation with lots of interactions http://www.alibabuy.com/
14:33:25 [dsr]
Topic: Abstract UI
14:34:05 [dsr]
Fabio: on this topic there is a big EU project and Jose is coordinating this, but unfortunately he is not here today.
14:34:47 [DS]
My understanding is that we were going to use the USE CASES to derive a general architectural vision of how interfaces integrate with applications
14:34:54 [dsr]
It has similar aims to this XG and it would be interesting to bring their materials to the W3C for review.
14:35:28 [dsr]
Juan: as soon as we have a stable version we will do so (I believe that was the resolution).
14:36:13 [dsr]
Fabio asks how we can make progress on the Abstract UI, e.g. with work on XForms etc.
14:37:13 [dsr]
Daniel: does everyone have a clear understanding of the concepts for the layers including the abstract UI?
14:37:50 [dsr]
Would like to see a description of the architecture.
14:39:04 [dsr]
Fabio: this was covered when the group was started
14:39:22 [dsr]
Daniel: we just need to spell this out as a reference.
14:40:06 [dsr]
Fabio: we should add a summary to the wiki
14:41:09 [dsr]
Action: Fabio to add a description of the layered approach to MBUI to the Wiki drawing upon existing papers.
14:43:11 [dsr]
Dave invites Juan to expand on his email of Dec 15
14:43:47 [dsr]
See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-xg-model-based-ui/2008Dec/0010.html
14:45:10 [dsr]
Daniel: couldn't find the reference to the paper at the UCL website.
14:45:22 [dsr]
Juan will add a link to the wiki asap.
14:46:28 [dsr]
Jaroslav has volunteered to add some text e.g. on Xforms, see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-xg-model-based-ui/2008Dec/0016.html
14:46:50 [dsr]
Juan: can we have some info on CTTE meta-model in the wiki as well.
14:47:14 [dsr]
It would be great to have a snapshot of all current meta-models on the wiki, Fabio agrees.
14:48:14 [dsr]
Topic: task models
14:49:00 [Juan]
ISO 24744 Method engineering standard proposal also includes task model definition (Jean)
14:49:00 [dsr]
Fabio: we weren't sure how much detail to give.
14:49:43 [dsr]
We probably need to add some introductory materials to explain the context for the various approaches.
14:50:34 [dsr]
Juan: asks Fabio if you have a formal model of the semantics that you could share with us
14:50:56 [Juan]

14:54:36 [dsr]
Fabio asks about the steps needed to take CTT into the standards track.
14:55:35 [dsr]
Dave says that to do that we first need to establish the context and to show the relationship to existing work, and to demonstrate that there is a rough concensus about moving the work forward into a standards track.
14:55:56 [dsr]
Fabio volunteers to add some more background materials to the wiki with that in mind.
14:56:06 [dsr]
Topic: date of next teleconference
14:56:24 [Gottfried]
Gottfried has left #mbui
14:57:22 [dsr]
Dave notes that due to the Christmas and New Year holidays, we need to decide the date of our next call.
14:58:08 [dsr]
He proposes Jan 5th. Several people will still be on vacation. We agree to holding the next call on Monday, January 12.
14:58:48 [dsr]
Dave encourages everyone to keep contributing to the wiki as a basis for working towards an XG Report.
