Abstract:
The advent of mobile interfaces induces an evolution on the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) field. We observe the emergence of several mobile devices and sensors that gave birth to the ubiquitous environments. In our research, we focus on: (i) how to adapt the interface to its environment, specifically in its context of use and (ii) what relationship has the context with the users’ task. This paper will propose a formal approach for specifying user interfaces adapted to the context of use. We will focus on the strength of formal approach to context and user’s modeling and how to infer users’ requirements through the model of the task for critical domains. Our approach will be illustrated by a case study on the monitoring of diabetic patients.
