Adaptive Interface for Collaborative Environments: AICE

Nowadays, for each application, there are multiple interfaces according to actor and device used. Designing an application has become a complex activity. The diversity in device interactions and the variety of actors – that cooper to realize a common aim – must be supported by the application. This paper presents an adaptive interface for a collaborative environment. This interface has been influenced by model-based user interface development environment (MB-UIDE) technology. Our architecture uses a filter algorithm to extracts the abstract user interface (AUI) for an actor. Then, the concrete user interface (CUI) is generated from AUI which depends of context of use. This paper devotes only to handling the generation of AUI.
