Researchers have greatly studied the importance of automatic database user interface generation based on declarative models. The task, domain and user models are three important declarative models on which the user interface can be built. This paper then proposes a framework, i.e., a methodological process and a software prototype to drive the automatic database user interface design and code behind...
Most web applications with user interaction via forms have deficiencies with regard to intellectual/cognitive impairments of the users. The DIADEM project has provided remedies and developed a trial system offering accessible and personalized adaptive interactive online services which suit in particular the needs of elderly users. The focus of this paper is on the system's technical aspects, discussing...
Web services are software components that allow the communication between applications in order to get the application integration. Commonly, the information exchanged through Web services invocation is XML data which need to be interpreted to understand the content.

Rich Internet applications are a technology which allows the content presentation of Web applications in a similar way to desktop applications. This technology has taken a great importance for the development of all kinds of Web applications, including the Web services. In this work, a mechanism for RIA optimization in mobile devices is proposed. Furthermore, we propose an architecture for content...
A number of European countries are about to introduce electronic systems for identity management (IDM). The main objectives are to improve security in online services and unify authentication. User centricity is a crucial factor to be considered here as well. This paper aims to contribute to the analysis of user centricity in the context of national IDM, taking the Austrian system as an example. The...
Mobile robots are expensive for developing countries and their utilization are general in the field of medicine, from neurosurgery to intensive care units. Our ongoing project "OTOROB" is more specific for orthopedic surgeons with special consideration on its cost effectiveness. Data analysis of our survey, during the first phase helped us to find requirements of orthopaedic surgeons to...
Concepts of individualization represent an enhancement of existing role concepts by containing subjective information demands. Role concepts are related to personalization and grant access to IT resources. By means of context- and situation-based approaches a concept is introduced that provides an individual - as opposed to personalized - access to IT resources in heterogeneous system landscapes....
Today's high calorie diets and low physical activity levels contributes towards childhood obesity. Exergaming, a combination of "exercise" and "gaming" was conceived as a means of addressing this problem. In this paper a mobile collaborative exergame, which is designed to be enjoyable and physically challenging, is presented. The long term objective is to harness conventional mobile...
The increasing numbers of different services that execute similar tasks offer the user a tough choice. Since most services perform nearly identical or their properties are not comparable easily, users are often not in the position to differ between various qualities of service. The situation becomes even worse if multiple single services are combined into complex service compositions that are elusive...
