Dialog Model Clustering for User Interface Adaptation

In recent years, the dramatic growth of the PDA and mobile phone market demonstrates that users are willing to be constrained to small displays, limited storage and battery life, slow CPU speeds and data transfer, in the hope of achieving truly portable access to electronic data. Most of the limitations that users experience with current devices will disappear in future generations. These changes will not have an e ect on the primary user interface constraint: the display size. The actual screen size will not change, since users demand devices that can be easily carried around and held in one hand. The article presents a hybrid approach to the generation of adaptive UIs based on a linking strategy of hierarchies of graphs. The nodes of this graph consist of clustered UI elements.
