An Eclipse-Based Authoring Tool For Developing Model-Based Adaptive Service Frond-Ends

This paper describes the initial results of our research within the context of Serenoa project, where we have developed the first version of an authoring tool, which has been developed as a plugin for the widely used Eclipse IDE in the industry and academia. This authoring tool supports all the CRUD (Create, Retrieve, Update, and Delete) operations for the adaptation rules and front-end UIs development for the service definitions at Abstract level. The adaptation rules and the front-end UIs are developed using the model-based languages, namely the Advanced Adaptation Logic Description Language (AAL-DL) and the Advanced Service Front-End Description Language (ASFE-DL), respectively, which have been developed in the project.
