- Abstract
- Adapting graphical user interface is extremely important to streamline interaction and to meet changing requirement of the context of use. This shortcoming is common and repetitive for GUI and necessitates further considerations with the growing complexity of interactive systems. However most of works addressing adaptation capitalize on design-time and predefined rules, which do not always meet real users preferences and expectations during use. WiSel is a tool-supported approach based on our framework for supporting Intelligent Agile Runtime Adaptation. It consists on a mixing of both knowledge-based (adaptive) and user-drived (adaptable) UI customization. Both adaptation behaviors work together on considering runtime end-users preferences to improve adaptation of interaction object at runtime. We investigated how end-users involvement can improve widget selection and enhance the user satisfaction. A preliminary pilot study was conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of our approach and its impact on usability in term of controllability, transparency and predictability.
