Pattern Based User Interface Generation in Pervasive Computing

In a dynamic heterogeneous environment, such as pervasive computing, context-aware adaptation is a key concept to meet the varying requirements of different clients. However, this newfound versatility poses difficult challenges for user-interface design. The traditional UI development measures seem insufficient toward this situation. As the concept of design pattern in architecture and software engineering, we propose a pattern based UI generation approach that is context sensitive. It can create the specific UI dynamically based on the certain context and the whole procedure is automatic. An implementation example based on Web application will be given at last to illustrate our idea.
