Abstract

Adapting user interfaces (UIs) to various contexts, such as for the exploding number of different devices, has become a major challenge for UI developers. The support offered by current development environments for UI adaptation is limited, as is the support for the efficient creation of UIs in Web service-based applications. In this paper, we describe an approach where --- based on a given context --- a complete user interface is suggested. We demonstrate the approach for the example of a SOA environment. The suggestions are created by a rule-based recommender system, which combines Web service-bound UI elements with other UI building blocks. The approach has been implemented, as well as evaluated by simulating the development of 115 SAP UI screens.
