“…This multilevel approach is quite new. Existing model-based tools which generate several UI versions for multiple platforms adopt a totally different approach: either they generate code starting from a description at the tasks and concepts level [9] (which offers little or no control over the layout and structure of the final interface), or they require a distinct CUI to be specified for each target platform or for each family of target platforms [1] (which demands more work from the designer and offers no guarantee of consistency between the different UI versions). In contrast, our approach requires only one specification, which can be given at any level of detail desired while taking advantage of the information specified at higher levels of abstraction if this is available.…”

This paper addresses the problem of the graceful degradation of user interfaces where an initial interface is transferred to a smaller platform. It presents a technique for pagination of interaction spaces (e.g., windows, dialog boxes, web pages) based on a multi-layer specification in the user interface description language UsiXML. We first describe how an interaction space can be split using information from the presentation layer (Concrete User Interface). We then show how information from higher abstraction levels (Abstract user Interface, Task model) can be used to refine the process. This technique belongs to a collection of transformation rules that have been developed to adapt a user interface to smaller, more constrained displays.

The specification of model adaptation and generation rules is a topic of great interest for the user interface development community, since there are more and more approaches supporting the model-based approach. The ubiquitousness in interaction and the different user profiles are not the only challenges when designing interactive systems. Furthermore, the context of use evolves over time. In this situation, there is a strong need to provide a set of adaptation rules to make the user interface evolve according to the context of use evolution. This paper contributes a metamodel for the definition of adaptation rules in a systematic approach, pursuing engineer adaptation. Moreover, a tool called T:XML is presented that supports the specification of adaptation rules using a visual notation that greatly simplifies the process of designing adaptation for model-based user interface environments.

“…Our proposal is to add Awareness Requirements (AR) to a task (Fig. 2c) by using mappings [7]. An AR is the representation of an awareness information requirement for a specific case or context (RC) which accesses a selected group of instances from the awareness data source (awDataSource, awSet).…”

Abstract. Awareness support in MDA technologies is virtually nonexistent. Furthermore, until recently there was no conceptual model suitable for representing Awareness support in model based architectures. Here, we introduce an extension of UsiXML user interface description language to support Awareness as an information requirement. UsiXML aims to describe multi-context and multimodal user interfaces. The model-based approach of UsiXML makes it a good candidate for integrating Awareness Support from the requirements phase to the final user interfaces. It enables Awareness requirements to be traced from the final user interfaces to the tasks and domain entities that generate them, allowing developers to maintain and validate all the Awareness mechanisms provided by the system. This leads not only to a better quality of system developed, but also an organized and traceable development of Awareness mechanisms, easier maintenance and improved user interaction.
