Using context information to generate dynamic user interfaces

Abstract

This paper deals with the use of context information to generate dynamic user interfaces. Our framework is a real environment composed of a heterogeneous set of components. The nature of each component can range from a physical device to an abstract concept such as the number of persons in the environment. A middleware, that provides an unified environment model and communicates context changes, is used by two different modal interfaces. This allows to manage environment components without interfering each other.
