Context aware adaptation of user interfaces
Journal Title: Revista Romana de Interactiune Om-Calculator - Year 2013, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Context-aware Adaptation (CAA) of user interfaces involves the identification of the relevant context information that surrounds the user during her interaction in order to properly adapt elements of an interactive system aiming at enhancing the end user interaction. The main goals of CAA are improving the usability levels of the system by using the relevant information of the user context to properly transform a system. In this special issue the authors are presenting various model-based approaches to user interface design and evaluation aiming to support the context aware adaptation. Key words: context aware adaptation, user interfaces, model-based development
