Plastic presentation of control data in context-awareness environment
Résumé
The needs for re-adaptable presentations of supervisory information are
more necessary in the context-awareness environment whose environmental
characteristics change frequently and the control data must be updated
regularly into the Graphic User Interface (GUI), in order to provide
efficiently to human operators an accurate picture of the state of the system
being supervised. The re-adaptation of GUI is necessary following each
considerable changes in the context of use or in the measured data. We will
suggest, in this paper, an approach that allows to generate GUI (in other
word plastic GUI) capable to adapt dynamically at runtime to changeable
context of use and to transform data into different scale types, while
maintaining its usability, without requiring costly redesign and
reimplementation.
