UbiqUI

UbiqUI - Ubiquitous mobile user interfaces for industrial monitoring and control applications.
ABB Software Research Grant

The aim of this project is to develop a solution that provides an efficient user interface of industrial monitoring and control applications on any device and allows seamlessmigration of the UI from one device to another. Solution that is future proof, i.e. it allows proper presentation of the user interface on devices that will emerge in the future and will introduce form factors and capabilities that were not known beforehand.

The UbiqUI solution uses an abstract, high level UI definition which is combined with the information about capabilities of a particular output device provided by a device capabilities model. Finally, a set of UI adaptation rules is used to provide a UI tailored for the output device, by means of on-the-fly adaptation. Additionally, the UI session can be decoupled from a particular device and can follow the user, seamlessly migrating from one device to another.
