Task-Based Development of User Interfaces for Ambient Intelligent Environments

Abstract

The designer of user interfaces for ubiquitous systems has to take into account the limited resources and changing contexts of use. In this paper we report on our proposal for a task-based development process for user interfaces that takes into account changes in the context of use and can react appropriately to the appearance and disappearance of services in their environment. Model-transformations and the generation and evaluation of prototypes are an important part of this development process and are supported by a custom-built tool.
