When the same graphical user interface (GUI) is being
used on multiple devices with different properties, usability
problems arise, especially when GUI pages are too large
for a (small) screen. Scrolling is a usual approach in such a
situation, but it also depends on device properties. For desktop
PCs used with a mouse, it is well-known that scrolling
should be avoided. In contrast, for touch-based devices like
tablet PCs or smartphones used with fingers, scrolling especially
in vertical direction is widely used and accepted.
So, providing several GUIs tailored for multiple devices is
desirable but expensive, and it takes time.
Automated GUI generation may help, when different
GUIs can be generated from the same high-level interaction
design model. This is still an issue, however, since
usually adaptations to high-level models have to be made
manually. Our approach just requires a device specification
with a few parameters for automated GUI tailoring, which
employs heuristic optimization techniques. Our fully implemented
approach even offers different tailoring strategies
for automated GUI generation.
