A Model-Driven Approach to Graphical User Interface Runtime Adaptation

Abstract

Graphical user interfaces play a key role in human-computer interaction, as they link the system with its end-users, allowing information exchange and improving communication. Nowadays, users increasingly demand applications with adaptive interfaces that dynamically evolve in response to their specific needs. Thus, providing graphical user interfaces with runtime adaptation capabilities is becoming more and more an important issue. To address this problem, this paper proposes a component-based and model-driven engineering approach, illustrated by means of a detailed example.
