Abstract

Nowadays, generation of user interfaces adapted to the context becomes very important in a world where technology and technical adaptations interfaces continue to increase. This paper presents an approach for the automatic and real time generation of user interface adapted to the context of use. We are particularly interested by modeling the data of context as well as the user’s task using Petri nets. The Petri nets are used for its simplicity to generate XML files, which will present the specification and generation of the human-computer interfaces adapted to the context. This approach will be illustrated with a case study that presents a diabetic patient suffering from hypoglycemia in a “smart hospital”.
