Beyond Responsive Design: Context-Dependent Multimodal Augmentation of Web Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Context-dependent adaptation is becoming a continuous necessity since we access our applications in more and more variegated contexts. Multimodality can be a significant support in such changing settings. We present a solution for obtaining automatic augmentation of Web applications in such a way as to enable them to exploit various combinations of graphical and vocal modalities. We report on the software architecture supporting such augmentations and its underlying context manager, as well as some example applications and first user tests.

Modular Responsive Web Design using Element Queries
Responsive Web Design (RWD) enables web applications to adapt to the characteristics of different devices such as screen size which is important for mobile browsing. Today, the only W3C standard to support this adaptability is CSS media queries. However, using media queries it is impossible to create applications in a modular way, because responsive elements then always depend on the global con...

We use web services as an example of a technology that extends firm resources beyond organizational boundaries. The modular design of web services enables the integration of monolithic applications within and across enterprises, creating the vision of an extended enterprise that ...
متن کاملDesign Options For Multimodal Web Applications
The capabilities of multimodal applications running on the web are well delineated since they are mainly constrained by what their underlying standard mark up language offers, as opposed to hand-made multimodal applications. As the experience in developing such multimodal web applications is growing, the need arises to identify and define major design options of such application to pave the way...
متن کاملUsing SCXML to Integrate Semantic Sensor Information into Context-aware User Interfaces
This paper describes a novel architecture to introduce automatic annotation and processing of semantic sensor data within context-aware applications. Based on the well-known state-charts technologies, and represented using W3C SCXML language combined with Semantic Web technologies, our architecture is able to provide enriched higher-level semantic representations of user’s context. This capabil...
متن کاملDiscovery and registration of components in multimodal systems distributed on the IoT
One of the major gaps in the current HTML5 web platform is the lack of interoperable means for an application to discover services and applications available in a given space and network. This problem is shared by the multimodal applications developed with web technologies, for example, in smart houses or applications for the Internet of Things. To address this gap, we produced a SOA approach f...
