Abstract

To support the requirement analysis of the user interfaces and the auto generation of the final user interfaces, we should improve the traditional modeling method which centered on the system and the implementation, and turn to use the modeling method which centered on the usage and the user. The compound use cases describe the system function from the user point of view. Based on the compound use cases, we can generate the final user interfaces.
