“…Therfore, we need to implement an assistant suitable for web-based applications. Assistance to end user on the Web may include Web form input operations [7,41]; adaptive presentation of content [40]; navigation within a website [29,34,35]; information or website retrieval [8,20,21]. This assistance can be client-side or server-side, depending on user profiles; the history of user actions (previous input, logs, more complex traces); and the content of web pages.…”

In this paper, we study tools for providing assistance to users in distributed spaces. More precisely, we focus on the activity of collaborative construction of knowledge, supported by a network of distributed semantic wikis. Assisting the users in such an activity is made necessary mainly by two factors: the inherent complexity of the tools supporting that activity, and the collaborative nature of the activity, involving many interactions between users. In this paper we focus on the second aspect. For this, we propose to build an assistance tool based on users interaction traces. This tool will provide a contextualized assistance by leveraging the valuable knowledge contained in traces. We discuss the issue of assistance in our context and we show the different types of assistance that we intend to provide through three scenarios. We highlight research questions raised by this preliminary study.

“…First work on user interface modeling started already in the 1980's, e.g. [19]. The main problem of early approaches was that they emerged either from the engineering domain or from the UI designer domain (see [11]) -a similar problem as addressed in this paper for multimedia applications.…”

Multimedia applications are a branch of software development with growing importance. Typical application areas are training applications and simulations, infotainment systems-e.g. in cars-or computer games. However, there is still a lack of tailored concepts for a structured development of this kind of application. The current paper proposes a modeling approach for the user interface of multimedia applications with the goal of a model-driven development. We identify the special properties of multimedia application development and the resulting aspects to be covered by the user interface model. Existing conventional user interface modeling approaches are not sufficient, as they do not cover the media-specific aspects of the application. However, a multimedia application usually includes conventional user interface elements as well. Thus, we first propose a solution for the media-specific part. Second, we elaborate an integration of our approach with existing conventional approaches. Finally, we discuss the overall model-driven development approach and outline its benefits.

“…The user defines directly the structure and the components of the interface. ITS (Wiecha et al, 1989) exhibits similar capabilities to Jade. One of the most significant systems proposed is Mastermind (Browne et al, 1997).…”

In this work we present an extension of a paradigm for abstract description of user interfaces using data structures described in the Set Description Language (SDL). An experimental software system for the automatic design and generation of web client interfaces has been developed too, which makes use of the Extended SDL (ESDL). At first, an interface is described at the highest level of abstraction through the data it operates on, and it is generated in a way that enforces data correctness. Generation of interfaces is executed by an expert system on the basis of a set of rules expressed in first order logic. The development of the system relies on AJAX technology, which makes the developing process adaptive and allows the feasibility of dynamic web interfaces.
