Transformations of a user-interface modality of an application

A system, comprising:

• computer hardware having at least one processor programmed to initiate executable operations, the executable operations including:
• identifying a first workflow segment corresponding to a user-interface (UI) modality of an application, wherein the application is developed to run on a predetermined data processing platform;
• selecting at least one other workflow segment to transform the UI modality of the application, wherein the at least one other workflow segment is configured to perform, when executed on a different predetermined data processing platform, a function comparable to a function performable by the first workflow segment;
• and
• transforming, using the selected at least one other workflow segment, the UI modality of the application to perform, when executed on the different predetermined data processing platform, the function comparable to the function performable by the first workflow segment;
• wherein the at least one other workflow segment is selected from a plurality of alternative workflow segments that are semantically similar to the first workflow segment, and wherein the selecting is based on classifying the first workflow segment with a classification model trained using machine learning to map workflow segments and corresponding UI modalities of the application to different predetermined data processing platforms.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having program code stored thereon, the program code executable by a computer to initiate operations including:
• identifying a first workflow segment corresponding to a user-interface (UI) modality of an application, wherein the application is developed to run on a predetermined data processing platform;
• selecting at least one other workflow segment to transform the UI modality of the application, wherein the at least one other workflow segment is configured to perform, when executed on a different predetermined data processing platform, a function comparable to a function performable by the first workflow segment;
• and
• transforming, using the selected at least one other workflow segment, the UI modality of the application to perform, when executed on the different predetermined data processing platform, the function comparable to the function performable by the first workflow segment;
• wherein the at least one other workflow segment is selected from a plurality of alternative workflow segments that are semantically similar to the first workflow segment, and wherein the selecting is based on classifying the first workflow segment with a classification model trained using machine learning to map workflow segments and corresponding UI modalities of the application to different predetermined data processing platforms.
