Abstract

In this work, we use the UML language to model and describe an approach for generating graphical (GUI) and speech-based (SUI) user interfaces from a single source in a home environment application. The proposed method introduces a generic dedicated widget vocabulary that aids in defining user interface descriptions written in the UIML language. Subsequently, this generic description may be converted to multiple UI implementation formats suitable for the specific client terminals. These targets include GUI-like formats (e.g. HTML, WML and Java), as well as voice-based formats(VoiceXML).
