Abstract
The multilayer interface concept is used to promote the universal usability, to smooth the transition to new systems and working methods and to help the user optimize his interface for the management of contextual situations. In this article, we will explain how this concept can help to tackle a serious issue for R&D projects: the integration of the innovative concepts into the operational environment. To illustrate this, we will explain how we used a multilayer interface to promote a way to integrate different concepts currently in maturation in the R&D sphere.
