“…A semantic analysis of the abstract description of the application [11] allows us to associate elements in the actual interface with their meaning, hence elaborating the best way to present them depending on the current platform. Beside interface adaptivity, interaction continuity has to be addressed too.…”

“…It is intended to provide a complete semi-automatic environment supporting a number of transformations useful for designers to build and analyze their design at different abstraction levels and consequently generates the concrete user interface for a specific type of platform. The abstraction levels considered are: the task model, where the logical activities to support are identified; the abstract user interface, composed of interaction objects [11] classified in terms of their semantics still independent from the actual implementation; the concrete user interface, and the actual corresponding code. The main transformations supported in TERESA are:…”

The goal of this work is to provide users immersed in a multi-platform environment with the possibility of interacting with an application while freely moving from one device to another. We describe the solution that we have developed for a service to support platform-aware runtime migration for Web applications. This allows users interacting with an application to change device and continue their interaction from the same point. The service performs the migration of the application taking into account its runtime state and adapting the application interface to the features of the target platforms. The service is optimized for applications developed through a modelbased, multiple-level approach. The intelligence of the adaptive interfaces resides in the migration server, which adapts data collected at runtime from their original format to the format best fitting the features of the target platform. We also indicate how it is possible to extend this result in order to support partial migration and synergistic access, by which a part of the user interface is kept on one device during runtime and the remaining part is moved to another with different characteristics.

“…Only the main aspects are considered, thereby avoiding low-level details. An abstract user interface is defined in terms of presentations, identifying the set of user interface elements perceivable at the same time, and each presentation is composed of a number of interactors [16], which are abstract interaction objects identified in terms of their semantics effects.…”

This paper discusses how model-based approaches can support designers and developers to address a number of challenges raised by universal usability, such as the possibility of obtaining user interfaces able to adapt to any device and usability evaluation tools able to analyse any users who can be located anywhere. The paper provides an overview concerning results that can be obtained in this area with links to activities carried out in current projects. Lastly, a research agenda for the field is proposed and discussed.

“…• Interactors [Paternò and Leonardi 1994] describe the different interaction mechanisms independent of platform (e.g., the basic task an interactor is able to support). The interactor model operates primarily at the level of the abstract description of the user interface.…”
