Adaptive User Interfaces as an Approach for an Accessible Web of Things

Published: 07 November 2016 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, we describe ideas on how to realize personalized and adaptive user interfaces in the Web of Things domain. One of the main goals of personalization is to provide accessible user interfaces for everyone. Our proposal is based on an extension of the Universal Remote Console framework by a RESTFUL communication mechanism in conjunction with the pattern based user interface generation approach of the MyUI project.
