Towards An Approach For Multi-device Interface Design

This paper proposes an approach for multi-device interface design that extends pre-designed interfaces keeping the original application conceptual model without loosing its usability, The proposal reinterprets general aspects of well known Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) lifecycle models and can be extended to the design of any interactive product. When validated through a simple transformation between a large and a small screen interface in an HCI domain, it shall point to a much less maintenance cost/complexity and a better usability, ensuring the user's satisfaction.125Andrade, A.R., Munson, E.V., Pimentel, M.G.C., Engineering web applications with xml and xslt Proceedings of LA-Web 2004 IEEE CS Press, Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, pp. 86-93Buyukkokten, O., Kaljuvee, O., Garcia-Molina, H., Paepcke, A., Winograd, T., Efficient web browsing on handheld devices using page and form summarization (2002) Proceedings of ACM Transactions on Information Systems (TOIS).
