HCI - Engineering Emerging user interfaces - UHasselt

In this line of research we investigate how models, model transformations and ontologies can be used to support the creation of emerging user interfaces. Notable realizations are the ReWire framework (creation and deployment of ubiquitous interactive systems), the Jelly toolset (design of multi-device user interfaces), CAP3 (modality-independent specification of context-sensitive and other user interfaces), and FLEPR (interactive transformations for model refinement, refactoring and synchronization).
