Using conditional transformations for semantic user interface adaptation
Pascal Bihler, Merlin Fotsing, Günter Kniesel, Cédric Joffroy · 2008
The rapid growth of mobile Internet use requires highly flexible and adaptable user interfaces for web applications. Contextual data from various sources as for example device HMI constraints, environmental information or device sen-sors need to be taken into account to dynamically adapt the application’s UI. The same is true for web applications that are based on context defined service orchestration. To tackle the complexity of multiple, possibly interacting adap-tations of web user interfaces, the authors propose the use of semantic user interface descriptions [1] and automatic cre-ation of adapted user interface code via logic-based Condi-tional Transformations [7, 10] of UI representations. With our approach, existing representations of context values in logic databases [16], can easily be included into the adapta-tion.
