Abstract

sparkles

AI

USIXML introduces a language designed to facilitate the multi-path development of user interfaces, addressing the rapid changes in organizational needs and the challenges in UI adaptation. The paper discusses the limitations of conventional UI development methods which often fail to accommodate flexibility in response to dynamic requirements, and suggests that USIXML can support various development approaches simultaneously, improving the process of user interface design across different platforms and modalities.
