Multi-Dimensional Context-Aware Adaptation of Service Front-ends

•Download as PPTX, PDF•
•

The Serenoa project aims to develop an open platform that enables context-sensitive service front-ends. The platform will provide user interfaces that are aware of the user, environment, and device context, and can automatically adapt to changes in context. The goal is to improve user satisfaction and performance over traditional static interfaces. The project is working with the W3C to develop standards for model-based user interface design, including meta-models for tasks and abstract user interfaces.

Overview • Serenoa is aimed at developing a novel, open platform for enabling the creation of context sensitive service front- ends (SFEs) • Context-sensitive SFE provides a user interface (UI) that – exhibits some capability to be aware of the context • User • Platform • Environment – and to react to changes of this context in a continuous way • Goal: improving people’s satisfaction and performance compared to traditional SFEs based on manually designed UIs

Cameleon Reference Framework  Reification: from high- to lower-level  T&D → AUI  AUI → CUI: e.g., a GUI, a vocal UI  CUI → FUI: e.g., HTML, VB for GUI VoiceXML, X+V for Vocal UI Task & Domain (T&D)  Abstraction: from low- to higher-level  FUI → CUI: e.g., reverse HTML  CUI → AUI: e.g. for changing modality Abstract User Interface (AUI)  AUI → T&D: e.g., for recovering task  Reflexion: at the same level  FUI: e.g. transcoding Concrete User Interface (CUI)  CUI: e.g., graceful degradation  AUI: e.g., restructuring  T&D: e.g., for retasking Final User Interface (FUI)

Editor's Notes

  1. GivenThe context consists of CADS + CARF: it is a generic meta-model that defines context information (in a broad approach)The context of use management includes: pre-processing (sensing and treating information) by instantiating the RMThe adaptation engine takes the instances of the RM given by the Context of Use Management and matches them with the AAA, producing as a result a selection of methods, techniques and strategies to perform and present (respectively) adapted UIThe main open questions that remainHow the runtime UI generation is related with the “Cameleon RF”How the authoring tool and the enabling technologies are involved? (the enabling technologies can be ‘decided’/’inferred’ by the AAA based on information provided by the set: Contex+RM+Context of Use Management)
