Title: | Constraint Adaptability of Multi-Device User Interface | Authors: | LUYTEN, Kris VERMEULEN, Jo CONINX, Karin |
Issue Date: | 2006 | Publisher: | CEUR | Source: | Proceedings of the CHI06 Workshop on The Many Faces of Consistency, workshop of ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems | Series/Report: | CEUR Workshops Proceedings | Series/Report no.: | 198 | Abstract: | Methods to support the creation of multi-device user interfaces typically use some type of abstraction of the user interface design. To retrieve the final user interface from the abstraction a transformation will be applied that specializes the abstraction for a particular target platform. The User Interface Markup Language (UIML) offers a way to create multidevice user interface descriptions while maintaining the consistency of certain aspects of a user interface across platforms. We extended the UIML language with support for layout constraints. Designers can create layout templates based on constraints that limit the ways a user interface can rearrange across platforms. This results in a higher degree of consistency and reusability of interface designs. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/7936 | Link to publication/dataset: | http://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/Publications/CEUR-WS/Vol-198/paper8.pdf | Category: | A2 | Type: | Journal Contribution |
