The distribution of user interfaces is a reality. To represent this reality this paper presents a metamodel to characterize user interface distribution capabilities and states. This metamodel allows analyzers/designers to manipulate user interface ...

Today's availability of web-enabled and mobile devices has led to a paradigm shift in the development of web applications. They are no longer restricted to a single device that is used by a single user. Future web applications are distributed across the ...

The rapid evolution of technology has changed the way in which we can interact with interactive systems. New physical workspaces have appeared such as Multi-Device Environments (MDE). These scenarios implicitly support Distributed User Interfaces allow ...

Large-sized display walls and tabletops stand for state of the art visualization platforms providing a great opportunity for group collaborative tasks. The integration of multi-touch overlays enables multiple users to interact concurrently with the ...

This paper focuses on collaborative work on interactive tabletops. To optimize the travel time of team members (remote workplace, telecommuting, and so on), collaborative work is now often remotely done. This brings many user interfaces issues between ...

Assuring that operators will be able to perform their activities even thought the interactive system exhibits failures is one of the main issues to address when designing and implementing interactive systems in safety critical contexts. The zero-defect ...

Surgical interventions are usually performed in an operation room; however, access to the information by the medical team members during the intervention is limited. While in conversations with the medical staff, we observed that they attach significant ...

Current visual display ecosystems raises new situations and new configurations regarding the way a user interacts with a system through the user interface. In a post-WIMP period, we can find coupled displays, multi-touch devices, and interactive table-...

Proxywork is a system that allows users to distribute user interface components of any Web application among a set of devices. In order words, it allows to transform any Web application in a Web application with Distributable User Interface. The ...

At the people's daily routine is usually included the option of using the public transport to reach their destination. However, in most cases, they have to arrive at a specific time to the expected place, calculating the necessary time of the whole ...

Distributed user interfaces are a trend in human-computer interaction, supporting applications in ubiquitous and collaborative computing. Yet, interoperability is achieved by the use of several protocols. In order to strengthen interoperability, a ...

This paper presents a two-folded approach to deal with non-functional requirements for distributable user interfaces (DeUIs) in agile processes. This proposal employs a conceptual agile framework that ensures earlier consideration of nonfunctional ...
