Abstract

Users expect access to Web data from a wide range of devices, both wired and wireless. Many users switch back and forth between devices, including laptops and Personal Data Assistants (PDAs), and expect to be able to continue working with that data. The goal of this research is to inform the design of applications that support the user by providing reasonably seamless migration of Web data among internet-compatible devices with minimal loss of effectiveness and efficiency. Earlier studies concentrated on the dynamic transformation of text content, lists, and forms embedded in web pages for access on a range of devices from desktop to handheld. This study focuses on the transformation of large tables onto small mobile devices. In this paper we report on the results of two user studies that examine effectiveness and efficiency of three basic models for the display of tables, originally intended for use on larger screen, on PDA size screens for both simple and complex tasks.
