Adaptive user interfaces for smart environments with the support of model-based languages

This article presents a solution for supporting adaptive user interfaces in work environments. Its architecture is built upon the concept of model-based UI design extended by context aware and adaptive features. Model-based languages provide the software development process with useful support for, building design prototypes and actual implementations for devices with various interaction resources. The proposed architecture is able to adapt to selected aspects of the context during run-time by communicating with a context server and applying the specified adaptation rules. In order to show the possibilities of the proposed solution, we report on its application in the development of an adaptive user interface prototype to be used in a warehouse picking system.
