论文摘要
移动应用程序在当今的经济中起着重要的作用，并且在多个平台上启用应用程序的趋势越来越大。但是，创建，分发和维护应用程序仍然是专家任务。即使对于软件开发人员，该过程也可能容易出错和资源消费，尤其是在同时定位不同平台时。研究人员提出了几个框架来促进跨平台应用程序开发，但对非技术用户的关注很少。在本文中，我们描述了流程框架，该流程框架利用了特定于域的语言来启用无代码规范用于应用程序建模。云本地协调机制进一步支持非技术用户执行，监视和维护任何目标平台的应用程序。进行了用户评估以评估系统的可用性和用户体验。结果表明，用户可以轻松地开发流量的应用程序，但是可以优化原型以减少学习时间和工作量。
Mobile applications play an important role in the economy today and there is an increasing trend for app enablement on multiple platforms. However, creating, distributing, and maintaining an application remain expert tasks. Even for software developers, the process can be error-prone and resource-consuming, especially when targeting different platforms simultaneously. Researchers have proposed several frameworks to facilitate cross-platform app development, but little attention has been paid to non-technical users. In this paper, we described the Flow framework, which takes the advantage of domain-specific languages to enable no-code specification for app modeling. The cloud-native coordination mechanism further supports non-technical users to execute, monitor, and maintain apps for any target platforms. User evaluations were conducted to assess the usability and user experience with the system. The results indicated that users can develop apps in Flow with ease, but the prototype could be optimized to reduce learning time and workload.
