Ubiquitous Widgets: Designing Interactions Architecture for Adaptive Mobile Applications

Modern mobile devices spreading introduce a new way of using and designing software applications. These pervasive systems are now part of our lives. More and more connected objects provide us more and more software capabilities. In this environment we have to rethink the way we traditionally consider our interactions with this software. These interactions are now potentially spread over multiple devices with different interacting modalities. We propose, in this paper, a software container component based architecture to design such interactions and a software platform to manage their dynamic life-cycle.
