User interface tailoring for multi-platform service access

ABSTRACT

Due to the diversity of display capabilities and input devices, mobile computing gadgets have caused a dramatic increase in the development effort of interactive services. User interface (UI) tailoring and multi platform access represent two promising concepts for coping with this challenge. The paper presents the MUSA (multiple user interfaces, single application) prototype system that addresses both issues by introducing an event-graph as basis of a UI tailoring process.
