Abstract
Application development for multiple pervasive devices requires a methodology that requires less development and management effort than simply rewriting the application for each device. We describe an approach that combines the advantages of automated generation from a single model-based UI description, with handcrafting of interfaces for specific devices. We discuss the infrastructure required to support a hybrid automated generation and handcrafting system, with particular attention to the issues that arise during application evolution.
