Supporting multimodality in service-oriented model-based development environments
Manca M., Paternò F.
While multimodal interfaces are becoming more and more used and supported, their development is still difficult and there is a lack of authoring tools for this purpose. The goal of this work is to discuss how multimodality can be specified in model-based languages and apply such solution to the composition of graphical and vocal interactions. In particular, we show how to provide structured support that aims to identify the most suitable solutions for modelling multimodality at various detail levels. This is obtained using, amongst other techniques, the well-known CARE properties in the context of a model-based language able to support service-based applications and modern Web 2.0 interactions. The method is supported by an authoring environment, which provides some specific solutions that can be modified by the designers to better suit their specific needs, and is able to generate implementations of multimodal interfaces in Web environments. An example of modelling a multimodal application and the corresponding, automatically generated, user interfaces is reported as well.Source: HCSE 2010 - 3rd Conference on Human-Centred Software Engineering, pp. 135–148, Reykjavik, Iceland, 14-15 October 2010

Interface distribution across multiple devices, even supporting different modalities.

Customizable dynamic user interface distribution
Manca M., Paternò F.
This paper describes a solution for flexibly obtaining distributed user interfaces across multiple devices. To this end, we propose a model-based approach, with associated authoring environment, which allows designers and developers to specify how to distribute interfaces at various granularity levels, ranging from entire user interfaces to parts of single interactive elements, and obtain the corresponding implementations. This solution includes run-time support for keeping the resulting user interfaces synchronized and customization tools that allow end users to dynamically change how the user interface elements are distributed across multiple interactive devices in order to address unforeseen situations. We also report on a first user test and how the environment has evolved according to the user feedback.Source: EICS'16 - The 8th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems, pp. 27–37, Brussels, Belgium, 21-24 June 2016

MARIA environment
Manca M., Paternò F., Santoro C., Spano L. D., Sisti C.
The MARIA Environment provides a novel solution able to exploit task models (represented in the ConcurTaskTrees notation) and user interface models (in the MARIA language) for the design and development of interactive applications based on Web services for various types of platforms (desktop, smartphones, vocal, multimodal, ...). In this process the tool is able to automatically import service and annotation descriptions and support interactive association of basic system tasks with Web services operations. Then, a number of semi-automatic transformations are able to exploit the information in such service and annotation descriptions to derive usable multi-device service front ends.

Generation of multi-device adaptive multimodal web applications
Manca M., Paternò F., Santoro C., Spano L. D.
This paper presents a set of tools to support multimodal adaptive Web applications. The contributions include a novel solution for generating multimodal interactive applications, which can be executed in any browserenabled device; and run-time support for obtaining multimodal adaptations at various granularity levels, which can be specified through a language for adaptation rules. The architecture is able to exploit model-based user interface descriptions and adaptation rules in order to achieve adaptive behaviour that can be triggered by dynamic changes in the context of use. We also report on an example application and a user test concerning adaptation rules changing dynamically its multimodality.Source: MobiWIS 2013 - Mobile Web and Information Systems. 10th International Conference, pp. 218–232, Paphos, Cyprus, August 26-29 2013

Considering task pre-conditions in model-based user interface design and generation
Manca M., Paternò F., Santoro C., Spano L. D.
Deriving meaningful and consistent user interface implementations from task models is not trivial because of the large gap in terms of abstraction. This paper focuses on how to handle task preconditions in the design and generation process, an issue which has not adequately been addressed in previous work. We present a solution that is able to manage the information related to task pre-conditions at the various possible abstraction levels. The paper also reports on some example applications that show the generality of the solution and how it can be exploited in various cases.Source: EICS '14 - 2014 ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems, pp. 149–154, Rome, Italy, 17-20 June 2014

Beyond responsive design: Context-dependent multimodal augmentation of web applications
Ghiani G., Manca M., Paterno F., Porta C.
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. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.Source: Mobile Web Information Systems. 11th International Conference (MobiWIS 2014), pp. 71–85, Barcelona, Spain, 27-29 August 2014

Dynamic user interface adaptation driven by physiological parameters to support learning
Ghiani G., Manca M., Paternò F.
Technology to make physiological measurements related to attention and cognitive load is becoming more affordable. We propose a solution based on combining the exploitation of dynamic user information gathered through such technology with a rule-based strategy for adaptation of e-learning Web applications. We focus on users' physiological data and aspects relevant for the task being carried out. A flexible rule-based approach allows designers and developers to define a wide range of rule compositions to express changes in the user interface based on how the user feels and behaves. The overall goal of the framework is to serve as a tool for content developers of Web applications, such as operators of online Learning Management Systems, and for their end-users. In this domain, through our approach teachers can create their educational contents, and specify how they should dynamically adapt to students' behaviour in order to improve the learning process.Source: 7th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems (EICS'15), pp. 158–163, Duisburg, Germany, 23-26 June 2015

Adaptive multimodal web user interfaces for smart work environments
Ghiani G., Manca M., Paternò F., Rett J., Vaibhav A.
This paper presents a solution for supporting adaptive user interfaces in work environments that require operators to move about in dynamic contexts for manipulating various physical objects. The solution architecture is built upon the use of logical languages for interactive applications integrated with context aware and adaptive features. The proposed architecture is able to adapt to specific aspects of the context during run-time by communicating with a context server and applying the specified adaptation rules. In order to show the possibilities of the proposed solution, we report on its application in the development of an adaptive user interface for a warehouse picking system, and discuss the results of the associated tests.Source: Journal of ambient intelligence and smart environments (Print) 7 (2015): 701–717. doi:10.3233/AIS-150344
