“…Scaling a meta-UI to the context of use goes beyond adapting its user interface to screen resolutions of heterogeneous devices and their interaction modalities, a topic that is already discussed extensively in literature [15,19,7]. Adapting the meta-UI also encompasses many other factors from which we highlight two important ones based on our experiences:…”

Discovering and unlocking the full potential of complex pervasive environments is still approached in application-centric ways. A set of statically deployed applications often defines the possible interactions within the environment. However, the increasing dynamics of such environments require a more versatile and generic approach which allows the end-user to inspect, configure and control the overall behavior of such an environment. A meta-UI addresses these needs by providing the end-user with an interactive view on a physical or virtual environment which can then be observed and manipulated at runtime. The meta-UI bridges the gap between the resource providers and the end-users by abstracting a resource's features as executable activities that can be assembled at runtime to reach a common goal. In order to allow software services to automatically integrate with a pervasive computing environment, the minimal requirements of the environment's meta-UI must be identified and agreed on. In this paper we present Meta-STUD, a goaland service-oriented reference framework that supports the creation of meta-UIs for usage in pervasive environments. The framework is validated using two independent implementation approaches designed with different technologies and focuses.

“…Instead, an attempt will be made to extend the Gummy tool to enable the integration of multiple transformation engines. This would allow the use of existing, more sophisticated techniques such as Supple [11], Artistic Resizing [7] or graceful degradation [10]. Designers would then be able to try out several transformation engines to generate an initial design and pick the one they like best.…”

“…It was not an aim of the present work to contribute to developments in this area but the transformation engine was implemented to prove the utility of the design approach presented in this paper. Similar but more sophisticated techniques for adapting user interfaces include Supple [11], splitting rules for graceful degradation [10] and Artistic Resizing [7]. Each of these techniques require other types of input to steer the adaptation and are solely used at runtime.…”

Designers still often create a specific user interface for every target platform they wish to support, which is timeconsuming and error-prone. The need for a multi-platform user interface design approach that designers feel comfortable with increases as people expect their applications and data to go where they go. We present Gummy, a multiplatform graphical user interface builder that can generate an initial design for a new platform by adapting and combining features of existing user interfaces created for the same application. Our approach makes it easy to target new platforms and keep all user interfaces consistent without requiring designers to considerably change their work practice.

“…Nevertheless, in most of the systems providing adaptation, these rules are design in ad-hoc manner [3]. Therefore, most of these systems are using what we call hardcoded adaptation techniques.…”

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.
