ABSTRACT
The widespread emergence of new computing devices and associated interaction metaphors has necessitated new ways of building User Interfaces (UIs) for these devices. In this paper, we describe our approach of using a Task Model in conjunction with the User Interface Markup Language (UIML) to drive generation of Multi-Platform User Interfaces. We also discuss briefly how current usability engineering practices have to be modified to accommodate the development of multi-platform UIs.

Towards virtualization of user interfaces based on UsiXML
Web3D '05: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on 3D Web technologyA model-based approach is presented for structuring a development process of virtual user interfaces based on UsiXML, a XML-compliant User Interface Description Language. UsiXML provides a Concrete User Interface description that remains independent ...
Usability of user interfaces: from monomodal to multimodal
BCS-HCI '07: Proceedings of the 21st British HCI Group Annual Conference on People and Computers: HCI...but not as we know it - Volume 2This workshop is aimed at reviewing and comparing existing Usability Evaluation Methods (UEMs) which are applicable to monomodal and multimodal applications, whether they are web-oriented or not. It addresses the problem on how to assess the usability ...
Gummy for multi-platform user interface designs: shape me, multiply me, fix me, use me
AVI '08: Proceedings of the working conference on Advanced visual interfacesDesigners still often create a specific user interface for every target platform they wish to support, which is time-consuming and error-prone. The need for a multi-platform user interface design approach that designers feel comfortable with increases ...
