Weld. 2005. “Fast and Robust Interface Generation for Ubiquitous Applications.” 7th International Conference, UbiComp 2005: Ubiquitous Computing, Tokyo, Japan, September 11-14, 2005: 37–55. doi:10.1007/11551201_3.0302-9743http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:26555025We present Supple, a novel toolkit which automatically generates interfaces for ubiquitous applications. Designers need only specify declarative models of the interface and desired hardware device and Supple uses decision-theoretic optimization to automatically generate a concrete rendering for that device. This paper provides an overview of our system and describes key extensions that barred the previous version (reported in [3]) from practical application. Specifically, we describe a functional modeling language capable of representing complex applications. We propose a new adaptation strategy, split interfaces, which speeds access to common interface features without disorienting the user. We present a customization facility that allows designers and end users to override Supple’s automatic rendering decisions. We describe a distributed architecture which enables computationally-impoverished devices to benefit from Supple interfaces. Finally, we present experiments and a preliminary user-study that demonstrate the practicality of our approach.en-USConference Paper2016-04-1810.1007/11551201_3
