“…One of the concepts here is called UI migration, which follows the idea of transferring a UI or parts of it from a source to a target device while enabling task-continuity through carrying the UI's state across devices. In [15] for example, the authors present an agent-based solution to support migration of interactive applications among various devices, including digital TVs and mobile devices, allowing users to freely move around at home and outdoor. The aim is to provide users with a seamless and supportive environment for ubiquitous access in multi-device contexts of use.…”

User Interface (UI) development is a challenging task as modern UIs are expected to be available across a wide range of diverse platforms while assuring high usability for heterogeneous users. Model-driven engineering principles have been applied in the context of multi-device and cross-device UI development to tackle complexity in development. While previous work related to usability evaluation of model-driven UIs primarily focused on single-and multi-device UIs, an investigation of the usability of model-driven cross-device UIs was not fully covered yet. In this paper, therefore, we present a model-driven UI development (MDUID) approach for cross-device UIs and analyze whether the applied MDUID approach has a positive impact on the usability of the generated UI. To accomplish this, we conduct a usability evaluation based on the generated UI for a cross-channel banking web application. The usability evaluation results provide detailed feedback regarding fulfillment of different usability criteria and enable improvement of involved models as well as model transformations.

“…In [9], we present a model-based framework for the migration and adaptation of user interfaces across different devices. In [7] and similarly in [24], the authors present a solution to support migration of interactive applications among various devices, including digital TVs and mobile devices, allowing users to freely move around at home and outdoor. The aim is to provide users with a seamless and supportive environment for ubiquitous access in multi-device contexts of use.…”

The user interfaces (UIs) of interactive systems become increasingly complex since many heterogeneous and dynamically changing contexts of use (platform, user, and environment) have to be supported. Developing UIs for such interactive systems often requires features like UI adaptivity and seamless task-continuity across devices, demanding for sophisticated UI development processes and methods. While existing engineering methods like human-centered design process and model-based UI development approaches serve as a good starting point, an integrated engineering process addressing specific requirements of adaptive UIs supporting task-continuity across different devices is not fully covered. Therefore, we present a model-based engineering approach for building context-adaptive UIs that enable a personalized, flexible and task-continuous usage of cross-channel applications. Our engineering approach supports modeling, transformation and execution of contextadaptive UIs. To show the feasibility of our approach, we present an industrial case study, where we implement context-adaptive UIs for a cross-channel banking application.

“…Therefore, the goal of this transformation is to provide a description of the user interface suitable for the new platform. The focus of the OPEN project is to build the logic, semantic description of existing interactive applications and then dynamically generate UIs that are adapted to various types of target devices and implementation languages, including with the state updated to the point at which it was left off in the previous device [28] [33].…”

One important aspect of ubiquitous environments is to provide users with the possibility to freely move about and continue to interact with the available applications through a variety of interactive devices such as cell phones, PDAs, desktop computers, intelligent watches or digital television sets. Migratory applications are able to follow the user by sensing changes in the user's context and adapting to available devices, ideally without interrupting the user experience. However, applications themselves must contain functions to monitor context information, coordinate a migration, handle application adaptation and interact with the user during the migration process. To make life easier for developers and users of migratory applications, we propose an integrated Migration Service Platform (MSP), where all the common migration functions are centralised. We show how the platform is realised as middleware that contains a server for the central functions and lightweight client-side running on the end-user devices. We show how migratory applications can interact with the platform and thereby do not have to contain migration functions themselves. By using the platform, they can register and be controlled by the platform to enrich the user experience with the application. We describe the challenges following the centralisation of a migration platform that can support different types of applications, both games and business applications, implemented with either web-technologies or as component-based applications.
