Dynamic Adaptation of Interactive Systems Based on Software Engineering Principles

Keywords

Software Engineering, Interactive System, HCI, software product line, aspect-oriented modelling, dynamic adaptation.

Description

The number of platforms, such as netbooks and smart phones, having various interaction modalities (e.g. multimodal, bimanual or vocal interactions) unceasingly increases over the last decade. Besides, user’s preferences, characteristics and environment have to be considered by software. This triplet <platform, user, environment>, called context, leads user interfaces to be dynamically (i.e. at runtime) adaptable to reflect any change of context.

Dynamic adaptation has been widely tackled in the software engineering domain. However interaction features are never considered in the proposed approaches.

The goal of the internship is to investigate the dynamic adaptation of interactive systems using majors software engineering principles such as dynamic software product line (DSPL).
