Abstract

In the last few years many traditional user interfaces have evolved towards "distributed" user ones. Nowadays, the proliferation of mobile devices with increased functionality and computing power, allows that different interaction elements can be distributed among different devices from different platforms, supporting interaction with one or many users. In this paper we propose a new schema-based definition of Distributed User Interfaces that will allow the specification of the elements to be distributed and will define constraints on the distribution process itself, independently of the language selected to construct the interface. We also introduce here two new definitions to complete the formalization of the definition of the Distributed User Interfaces (DUI). Our previously defined Abstract User Interface (AUI) model jointly with this new schema-based definition of DUIs will lead us to the full specification of the concrete DUIs.
