Abstract:

This collection highlights advancements in User Interface Description Languages (UIDLs), focusing on XML-based solutions for device-independent and context-sensitive user interface development. Contributions cover a range of topics including dynamic generation of multimodal interfaces, model-driven UIDL integration, and language extensibility for multi-device scenarios. Innovations in UIDL frameworks, such as UIML and USIXML, showcase methods to enhance reusability, adaptability, and scalability in HCI tools. Practical applications, case studies, and evaluations of UIDL frameworks underscore their potential in improving usability, accessibility, and integration across diverse computing environments.
