Development of context-adaptive applications on the basis of runtime user interface models

Abstract

One of the challenges faced by developers of applications for smart environments is the diversity of contexts of use. Applications in smart environments must cope with continuously changing context of use, so the developers need to prepare them for a possibly broad range of situations. Since the developer has no access to all environments, in which her application will be executed, it must be possible to simulate different environments and evaluate the behavior of the application at design time. In our demonstration the designer has the possibility to simulate and modify a runtime context model and observe as her application adapts on the fly. In the underlying runtime architecture applications, defined as sets of models, are adapted automatically on the basis of the information held in the runtime context model. A visual tool enables the user interface developer to access and modify the models at any time and immediately observe the behavior of the application.

Survey Teknik-Teknik Design User interface Menggunakan Systematic Literature Review

“…Adaptive Interface [4] + Penggunaan antarmuka adaptif di lingkungan seluler bermanfaat bagi pengguna dari dua perspektif: 1) -Harus memperhatikan properti yang harus dimiliki antarmuka adaptif -penggabungan ambient intelligence dengan modeldriven method -MB-UID [30] +ambient intelligence tidak hanya memberikan layanan pada sebuah environment, tapi juga dapat menggabungkannya untuk memberikan layanan yang baru. (misal penggabungan layanan data storage dan telepon dapat memberikan pelayanan pelanggan) -kurangnya alat dan mesin untuk pembuatan user interface design pada platform dan environment yang berbeda -pembentukan fungsionalitas pada asset penting usabilitas masih sulit untuk dilakukan -konsep 'software agents' -agent tersebut dapat bekerja secara otonom untuk membantu user +dapat mendukung user +lebih memberikan petunjuk dan saran, daripada mengontrol perilaku user -kurangnya reuse pada software -topik yang belum banyak diteliti multimodal user interface design [31] +perubahan dalam runtime model dapat segera terlihat dalam user interface aplikasi -memerlukan banyak runtime model dan metamodel smart environment [32] +menggabungkan requirements engineering dengan model-driven development dan MBUID -belum ada proses dan metodologi yang jelas tentang adaptive user interface design model-driven engineering (MDE) [33] +memberikan infrastruktur user interface yang dapat melakukan selfadapt dan self-learning +dapat di setting secara manual -masih sedikit data penelitian yang didapatkan model-based user interface design (MBUID) [29] +automasi proses desain dengan model yang dinamis dan dapat diperluas -bergantung pada konteks penggunaan -membutuhkan koneksi jaringan yang cepat Berikut teknik-teknik desain user interface yang telah dikelompokkan oleh penulis. Identifikasi dilakukan dengan membandingkan metode/teknik yang digunakan, beserta kelebihan dan kekurangannya.…”

A systematic literature review on intelligent user interfaces

“…IUI (e.g. [ We have identified many software technologies used to design and develop the user interfaces: adaptation rules; development process; generic architecture/framework; machine learning techniques; model-based approach [1] [23]; model-based architecture (with transformation rules); model-based user interface development (MBUID) approach; model-driven approach (based on CAMELEON-RT [4]) [1] [18]; multi-agent architecture; natural language processing; usercentered design approach; etc. In general, the IUIs adapt to the context of use; context changes; device characteristics; platform characteristics; users´ actions; user behaviors; users´ characteristics; users´ preferences; users´ needs; among others (e.g.…”

MyUI

“…Most of them concentrate on one specific purpose of adaptation: individual user needs and disabilities [5] [31], multiple devices and modalities, e.g. [26] [21] [2] or context conditions [12] [13]. SUPPLE automatically generates interfaces adapted to a person's device, preferences and physical abilities [11].…”
