Abstract
For a long time standard desktop applications have ruled the market. Nevertheless, the availability of information has made the user demand new interaction techniques in completely different contexts and devices, but requesting the same functionality. With this new situation application design should be able to adapt to these differences. To design these adaptive interfaces the specification of these user interfaces should support plasticity at runtime. In this paper a first approach is proposed to support these plasticity features from a formal point of view within a model-based user interface design methodology. Connector paradigm is used to coordinate the communication between Concrete Interaction Objects and Abstract Interaction Objects in a flexible way enough to support adaptivity.
