Dynamically generated multimodal application interfaces
Stefan Kost
Abstract
This work approaches dynamic multi-modal application interfaces from a new point of view.
The ongoing diversification of the user base and technology lays the foundation for the need of
an holistic adaption infrastructure. Only designing individual adaption methods is not sufficient anymore.
Providing such an infrastructure along with an open reference implementation is the objective of the
Generalized Interface ToolKit (GITK) project. The software can generate, adapt and exchange
interfaces at runtime. It works on various platforms and comes with several interface renderers.
The solution is based on XML technology and defines an own markup language called Generalized
Interface Markup Language (GIML).
