When developing user interfaces for interacting with data and content one typically assumes that one knows the type of data and one knows how to interact with such type of data. The core idea of the Semantic Web is that data is self-describing, which ...

In the early days of a technology's penetration into the marketplace, it is common to witness an explosion of variations of that technology, each laying claim to some unique property which makes it superior to the alternatives. While diversity is ...

The goal of the XDUI 2015 workshop is to bring together leading and upcoming systems researchers in the area of cross-device interfaces and define a research agenda together. The workshop aims to be useful, not only for the EICS research community, but ...

The W3C SCXML standard for Harel state-charts, in unison with the W3C MMI architecture specification and related work from the W3C MMI working group are a promising suite of recommendations to become the "HTML of multimodal applications". This 2^nd ...

Ubiquitous systems introduce a new quality of interaction both into our lives and into software engineering. Software becomes increasingly dynamic, requiring frequent changes to system structures, distribution and behaviour. The constant adaptation to ...

This workshop aims to gather active researchers and practitioners in the field of formal methods for interactive systems. The main objective is twofold: on one hand look at the evolutions of the definition and use of formal methods for interactive ...

The increasing acceptance and innovation in Natural User Interfaces (NUIs) promise a widespread adoption of interactive systems following this paradigm. Although dozens of novel interaction techniques are being proposed every year, the currently applied ...

Modeling Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is nowadays practiced by IT companies. However, it remains a straightforward task that requires some advanced User Interface (UI) modeling tools to ease the design of large-scale models. This includes tackling ...

Using a real life scenario of aircraft cockpit design, we illustrate how the model-based architecture of the djnn programming framework allows to combine the multidisciplinary and iterative processes of user interface design with the requirements of ...

Implementing multimodal interactive systems with event-driven tools requires splitting the code across multiple event handlers, which greatly complicate programmers' work. To alleviate this complexity we propose to extend the capabilities of existing ...

We have engineered an interactive Facebook-based test-bed for experimenting with friend-list recommendations. Its user-interface has two components: one allows the end-user to use a recommendation algorithm to create usable friend-lists, and the other ...

We present PhoneEar, a new approach that enables mobile devices to understand the broadcasted audio and sounds that we hear every day using existing infrastructure. PhoneEar audio streams are embedded with sound-encoded data using nearly inaudible high ...

Technology to make physiological measurements related to attention and cognitive load is becoming more affordable. We propose a solution based on combining the exploitation of dynamic user information gathered through such technology with a rule-based ...

In this paper, we describe a new software framework for tangible tabletop interfaces: TULIP. The framework uses an abstraction layer to receive information from computer vision frameworks, such as reacTIVision, and a widget model based on MCRit to ...

In this paper we present a new tool for specifying task models (Responsive CTT), which can be accessed through touch-based mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets as well. The tool is Web-based and responsive in order to provide adapted user ...

Plastic user interfaces have the capacity of adapting themselves to their context of use while preserving usability. This property gives rise to several versions of the same UI. This paper addresses the problem of verifying UI adaptation by means of ...

Tools, such as interactive forms, for International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) assessment are expensive to develop, because they are used in different domains and have to be fitted to the special needs of the user groups. ...

Sketching is an important activity in software development projects and has many advantages over strict formal languages, especially in cross-functional teams with different technical background. Sketches are used to develop all kinds of diagrams, ...

Despite the recent proliferation of new cross-device application frameworks, there is still a lack of sophisticated tools for testing new applications during their development. This paper presents XDSession---a framework for cross-device application ...

This paper describes the design process of the LIBRARINTH interactive game, a demand-driven project based on the library sector input. The main goal of the Marble Maze-like game is to introduce new library services and events in a more fun, entertaining ...
