Towards Multimodal User Interfaces Composition Based on UsiXML and MBD Principles
Résumé
In software design, the reuse issue brings the increasing of web
services, components and others techniques. These techniques allow reusing
code associated to technical aspect (as software component). With the
development of business components which can integrate technical aspect with
HCI, the composition issue has appeared. Our previous work concerned the
GUI composition based on an UIDL as UsiXML. With the generalization of
Multimodal User Interfaces (MUI), MUI composition principles have to be
studied. This paper aims at extend existing basic composition principles in
order to treat multimodal interfaces. The same principle as in the previous
work, based on the tree algebra, can be used in another level (AUI) of the
UsiXML framework to support the Multimodal User Interfaces composing.
This paper presents a case study on the food ordering system based on
multimodal (coupling GUI and MUI). A conclusion and the future works in the
HCI domain are presented.
