A MIGRATION PLATFORM BASED ON WEB SERVICES FOR MIGRATORY WEB APPLICATIONS
Keywords:
User Interface Migration, Adaptation to the Interaction Platform, Ubiquitous EnvironmentsAbstract
In this paper we present a new environment for supporting Web user interface migration through different devices. The goal is to furnish user interfaces that are able to migrate across different devices, in such a way as to support task continuity for the mobile user. This is obtained through a number of transformations that exploit logical descriptions of the user interfaces to be handled. The migration environment supports the automatic discovery of client devices and its architecture is based on the composition of a number of software services required to perform a migration request.
