We live surrounded by computing devices, but we are not yet combining them into a natural unified user experience. Therefore, we have designed and implemented a framework to generalize and support the development of multi-device applications, which ...

We designed a framework to generalize the development of applications with UI elements distributed across co-located devices. The framework is comprised of diverse components in order to deal with the complexity of such a task, including: ...

Nowadays we are surrounded by many different computing devices, but applications running on them are still largely independent. It should be possible to address this shortcoming to provide a better user experience. There is a lack of tools to realize ...

This paper presents an approach for modeling multi-device user interactions, based on task models. We use Concur-TaskTrees (CTTs) as a domain-specific language, which we extend here by a labeling mechanism to model multi-device interactive applications. ...

Web application development lacks simple reuse of client-side components. In the last years, many component-like parts of web applications were provided as JavaScript libraries. However, those are mostly not self-contained, require cumbersome ...

Users are increasingly accessing content through a complex device eco-system involving both public and private screens. Traditional research into display eco-systems has focused on developing new multi-screen applications and on techniques for ...

The growing number of connected devices and increasing availability of solutions based on the concept of the Internet of Things make our environment increasingly smart and capable. However, existing application development processes and tools, designed ...

By utilizing the complementary advantages in screen size, network speed and processing power, the computing devices we own can work together and provide a better user experience. By separating the concerns of an application into components responsible ...

This paper presents a development model, tooling environment, and system support for building and deploying applications targeted to run on multiple heterogeneous end-user devices. Our approach is based on a device-independent application model and ...
