A multi-agent system architecture for the adaptation of user interfaces

Abstract

Nowadays the design of user interfaces has become a discipline of great importance in Software Engineering, mainly due to the increasing impact that a high quality user interface has in the success of a software product. However, the growing diversity in interaction devices and techniques has raised a big expectation for the design of both methods and architectures able to cope with context of use heterogeneity issues in an intelligent way. Multi-agent systems jump into scene as an alternative to design the adaptation capabilities required to cope with this problem in a natural manner.
