A smart interface development architecture for device-independent data presentation

Off-the-shelf mobile solutions for content retrieval and presentation are often not equipped with means to provide adaptive data presentation and context-sensing techniques. This paper proposes a novel framework based on a device-independent User Interface (UI) standard and using a user-centric modelling scheme for data processing and content presentation. The goal is to have a subset of smart reusable object models with embedded design knowledge to empower engineers to design good interfaces, the system to adapt the interface to data and the end-user to tailor the interfaces to changes in mission, platform and environment.
