Title: | COMET(s), a software architecture style and an interactors toolkit for plastic User Interfaces | Authors: | DEMEURE, Alexandre Calvary, G. CONINX, Karin |

INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS: DESIGN, SPECIFICATION, AND VERIFICATION, PROCEEDINGS. p. 225-237. | Series/Report: | LECTURE NOTES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE | Series/Report no.: | 5136 | Abstract: | Plasticity of User Interfaces (UIs) refers to the ability of UIs to withstand variations of context of use (<User, Platform, Environment>) while preserving usability. This paper presents COMET, a software architecture style for building task-based plastic interactors. COMET bridges the gap between two main approaches in plasticity: model-driven engineering and interactors toolkits. Interactors that are compliant to the COMET style are called COMETs. These COMETs are multi-rendering multi-technological interactors (WIMP and post-WIMP, Web and non Web as well as vocal). COMETs are extensible and controllable by the user (up until now the designer, in the future the end-user). The COMET architecture and the use of COMETs are illustrated on an executable prototype: a slide viewer called CamNote++. | Notes: | Hasselt Univ, tUL IBBT, Expertise Ctr Digital Media, Diepenbeek, B-3590 Belgium. | Keywords: | adaptation, context of use, plasticity, design alternatives, exploration, style sheets, tailored UIs, interactors | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/8511 | ISBN: | 978-3-540-70568-0 | DOI: | 10.1007/978-3-540-70569-7_21 | ISI #: | 000258912000021 | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper | Validations: | ecoom 2009 |
