Thanks to the widespread availability of web browsers for different platforms, web interfaces are often employed in these settings. However, current browsers lack sufficient support for flexibly adapting to non-desktop settings, e.g. ad-hoc changes of input devices. A use case for this is, e.g., an interactive shopping window that presents a web interface for buying products. If the browser in the shopping window supported ad-hoc changes of input devices, the customer could dynamically attach carried input devices, e.g., a mobile phone, to the browser and interact with it. In this paper, we present a solution to the problem of dynamically connecting input devices in a non-desktop setting to a browser, based on the MundoMonkey Firefox extension for interactive spaces. Using our approach, the unmodified web user interface can be used with arbitrary in- put devices in ways that cannot be realized by synthesizing mouse and keyboard events. In our approach, the customization to the device at hand is performed transparently to the application developer by the end-user. 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dl.gi.de/handle/20.500.12116/5027 Mashing up user data in the Grapple User Modeling Framework Abel, Fabian; Heckmann, Dominik; Herder, Eelco; Hidders, Jan; Houben, Geert-Jan; Krause, Daniel; Leonardi, Erwin; van der Sluijs, Kees Hauger, David; Köck, Mirjam; Nauerz, Andreas In this paper we demonstrate the Grapple User Modeling Framework (GUMF), which exploits Semantic Web technologies and Web 2.0 paradigms to model users across different applications and domains. It introduces novel features such as dataspaces, which logically bundle user data, and user pipes, which allow to mash up user data from different sources. 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dl.gi.de/handle/20.500.12116/5022 Unstructured Interaction: Integrating Informal Handwritten Knowledge into Business Processes Heinrichs, Felix Hauger, David; Köck, Mirjam; Nauerz, Andreas Business processes are a widespread approach to managing and planning organizational activities. However, human work practices often differ from structured, formal process descriptions. Knowledge on process variations therefore becomes a key aspect in enacting and controlling business processes. Such knowledge usually is informally documented. Traditional paper, carrying handwritten information, still serves as one of the prevalent media in this context. Even in computer supported work environments, paper based documents are still common in professional settings. As a solution to the problem of integrating handwritten, informally specified knowledge into business processes, the concept of unstructured interaction is introduced and elaborated. 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dl.gi.de/handle/20.500.12116/5023 Analyzing Client-Side Interactions to Determine Reading Behavior Hauger, David; Van Velsen, Lex Hauger, David; Köck, Mirjam; Nauerz, Andreas Traditional monitoring and user modeling techniques in adaptive hypermedia systems consider pages as atomic units although different sections may refer to different concepts. This has been mainly due to the fact that most user interactions being monitored referred to the request of a new document and there was too little activity information to differentiate between sections of a page. Client-side monitoring can provide additional information on user interactions inside the browser window and may relate them to areas within a document. A user study was carried out to show whether and how this data might be used to identify which parts of a page have been read. 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z
