Multiple User Interfaces allow people using mobile phones, laptops, desk tops, palm tops or PDAs to access and read informationfrom their central server or the internet in a coherent andconsistent way and to communicate effectively with other users whomay be using different devices. MUIs provide multiple views of theinformation according to the device used and co-ordinatecommunication between the users.
Multiple User Interfaces: Engineering and ApplicationsFrameworks is the first work to describe user interface designfor mobile and hand-held devices such as mobile phones. Given theproliferation of books on web site design in the late '90s, thispromises to be the forerunner in a new wave of books dealing withthe issues specific to small screens, limited memory and wirelesstransmission. It also deals with problems relating tomulti-user functionality and sharing the same application overvarious platforms.
* Offers a comprehensive account of state-of-the-artresearch
* Combines human and technical aspects including socialinteraction, workflow, HCI, & system architectures.
* Provides practical toolkits, guidelines and experiencereports
* Includes contributions from leading experts at allthe key institutions - Virginia Tech, ConcordiaUniversity, Lancaster University, Ericsson &Intel
With such a unique and cutting-edge approach researchers anddevelopers working on user interface design in companiesmanufacturing handsets and other portable devices, university HCIgroups and companies providing web-based information services fordelivery to hand-held devices will find this indispensable.
