Enhancing Collaborative Sketching with Adaptation Guidelines

Designing interactive systems for multiple contexts of use becomes a burden when several interaction scenarios, their characteristics and constraints, must be considered. Stakeholders face then two main challenges: they are not aware of what is significantly relevant to consider from contextual information, or how to appropriately adapt the user interfaces based on this information considered. Moreover, stakeholders cannot count on existing UI editors once they usually do not provide support for context-aware adaptation. Thus, adaptation is often ignored, resulting in user interfaces that are only suitable for static and conventional contexts of use. To support the design of user interfaces that are properly adapted to their target context, this paper proposes a novel methodology to enhance sketching activities by suggesting to the end user adaptation guidelines. This work aims at raising awareness about context-aware adaptation since the early stages of the UI design. Author Keyword...
