Abstract

The SitAdapt system is an architecture and runtime system for building adaptive interactive applications. The system is integrated into the PaMGIS framework for pattern- and model-based user interface construction and generation. This paper focuses on the different types of adaptations and the timeslots for controlling the options for changing the user interface and the interactive behavior. During sessions the system is monitoring the user and collecting visual, bio-physical, and emotional data that may vary over time. Based on these data situations can be recognized and adaptation rules that activate the PaMGIS models and resources can be triggered at runtime. The operation of the system is demonstrated with examples from an adaptive travel-booking application. The paper also discusses, how task accomplishment can be controlled by mapping real user activities during a session to the task models that are made available through the PaMGIS model repositories.
