Transformation of XAML schema for RIA using XSLT & UsiXML

User interface design and development for Rich Internet applications is a difficult task with actual tools. The designers must be aware of the computing platform, the user's characteristics (education, social background, among others) and the environment within users must interact with the application. Several model based technologies have been proposed and in this study we review a XML-compliant User Interface Description language: XAML and we propose a translation schema with XSLT for generate user interface descriptions on UsiXML. This way, we can avoid the dependency to proprietary engines for designing tasks.
