Incubator Report: Model-Based User Interfaces

The Model-Based User Interfaces Incubator Group (MBUI-XG) published their final report today. During the last year the MBUI-XG has evaluated research on MBUIs, including end-to-end models that extend beyond a single Web page, and has assessed its potential as a framework for developing context-sensitive Web applications. This report gives an overview of the main results achieved by such an Incubator Group. W3C has also organized a Workshop on Future Standards for Model-Based User Interfaces (13-14 May 2010, Rome) to identify opportunities and challenges for new open standards in this area, particularly concerning the semantics and syntaxes of task, abstract and concrete user interface models. This publication is part of the Incubator Activity, a forum where W3C Members can innovate and experiment. This work is not on the W3C standards track.
