Title
SALAMANDRE

Acronym

 

A salamandre is an animal showing some capabilities to adapt itself to the environment.
Duration
2001-2005

 

Funding
Initiatives III Research Program, DGTRE, Ministry of Walloon Region

 

Goals
SALAMANDRE is interested to produce multiple User Interfaces (UIs) for different platforms.Our methodology, the Graceful Degradation Approach, is based on a set of rules that modify the UI specifications at different abstraction levels. Guidelines related to different computing platforms will be gathered in a database. In collaboration with the Telecommunications Unit (TELE), mobile and multi-platforms UIs are considered in a case study in telemedicine.
