A design methodology and a prototyping tool dedicate to adaptive interface generation

In this paper, the authors show a design methodology for adaptive interfaces. This methodology allows to completely specify, and then generate the interface. The specification consists of two stages : a stage of Petri net modelisation of the interface dialogue, from a static task modelisation under MAD or UAN, and a stage of specification of the presentation, using Abstract Interactive Objects. A Petri net interpreter uses the dialogue and the presentation specification in order to generate the interface. With those tools, development of adaptive interface becomes easier.
