“…We have already mentioned that lack of hardware standards created a need of device independent applications during the seventies and the eighties. User Interface Management Systems like Mike [12] and UofA* [14] addressed this problem, together with model-based approaches like Humanoid [16]. Others proposed more partial solutions to shield developers from differences in input devices [9], or guide them in the selection of input devices and interaction techniques [7].…”

The Ubiquitous Interactor (UBI) addresses the problems of design and development that arise around services that need to be accessed from many different devices. In UBI, the same service can present itself with different user interfaces on different devices. This is done by separating interaction between users and services from presentation. The interaction is kept the same for all devices, and different presentation information is provided for different devices. This way, tailored user interfaces for many different devices can be created without multiplying development and maintenance work. In this paper we describe the system design of UBI, the system implementation, and two services implemented for the system: a calendar service and a stockbroker service.

“…The UIMS significantly reduces the time required to develop an interface and also the chances of errors to a minimum because the designer is dealing with a compact and higher level of specification. A high-level UIMS which automatically generates the lexical and syntactic design of GUIs is presented in [19] based on the given description and user preferences. Similar approaches have been used in the Menu Interaction Kontrol Environment (MIKE) [16] and User Interface Design Environment (UIDE) [10].…”

Abstract. In the pervasive computing era, mobile phones and personal digital assistants are widely used for data collection. The traditional user interfaces which are employed for data collection in personal computer environments are to be modified appropriately for the mobile environment. Because, it is difficult to display full interface on a single mobile screen due to the limitation of the mobile phone screen size. Interface tailoring methods are investigated in the literature for designing user interface for mobile screens. In the literature, temporality-based approach is proposed for designing efficient user interface for personal computer environment. In this paper, we extend the notion of attribute temporality to interface tailoring methods and propose an improved user interface design approach for small screens. The analysis on the real-world datasets shows that the proposed approach can be used for better user interface design for small screens.

“…Some systems, such as Jade and Chisel (Singh and Green 1989), produce a rough cut of an interface from a textual specification. An interactive design tool can then be used to polish the generated interface, for example, by adding decorations or repositioning objects.…”

The Garnet toolkit was specifically designed to make highly interactive graphical programs easier to design and implement. Visual, interactive, user-interface design tools clearly fall into this category. At this point, we have used the Garnet toolkit to create three different interactive design tools: Gilt, a simple interface builder for laying out widgets; Lapidary, a sophisticated design tool for constructing application-specific graphics and custom widgets; and C32, a spreadsheet interface to constraints. The features of the Garnet toolkit that made these easier to create include use of a prototype-instance object system instead of the usual class-instance model, integration of constraints with the object system, graphics model that supports automatic graphical update and saving to disk of on-screen objects, separation of specifying the graphics of objects from their behavior, automatic layout of graphical objects in a variety of styles, and a widget set that supports such commonly used operations as selection, moving and growing objects, and displaying and setting their properties.
