MENTOR An Interactive Design Environment for Automatic User Interface Adaptation

Unified User Interface design is a method targeted towards the design of user interfaces capable of automatic adaptation behaviour. MENTOR is a tool that has been developed in order to facilitate the process of designing Unified User Interfaces, by providing an appropriate interaction environment and editing facilities for all the phases involved. Automated verification mechanisms for the adaptation logic embedded in design cases are also provided. This Report describes the functionality and interactive facilities of MENTOR, focussing on how the tool supports the underlying method.
