The size and layout of user interface components need to be optimally designed in terms of reachability, visibility, clearance, and compatibility in order for efficient and effective use of products. The present study develops an ergonomic design method which optimizes the size and layout of user interface components using adaptive genetic algorithm. The developed design method determines a near-optimal design which maximizes the aggregated score of 4 ergonomic design criteria (reachability, visibility, clearance, and compatibility). The adaptive genetic algorithm used in the present study finds a near-optimum by automatically adjusting the key parameter (probability of mutation) of traditional genetic algorithm according to the characteristic of current solutions. Since the adaptive mechanism partially helps to overcome the local optimality problem, the probability of finding the near-optimum has been substantially improved. To evaluate the effectiveness of the developed design method, the present study applied it to the user interface design for a portable wireless communication radio.

Human Robot Interaction(HRI) through a haptic interface plays an important role in controlling robot systems remotely. The augmented usage of bio-signals in the haptic interface is an emerging research area. To consider operator's state in HRI, we used bio-signals such as ECG and blood pressure in our proposed force reflection interface. The variation of operator's state is checked from the information processing of bio-signals. The statistical standard variation in the R-R intervals and blood pressure were used to adaptively adjust force reflection which is generated from environmental condition. To change the pattern of force reflection according to the state of the human operator is our main idea. A set of experiments show the promising results on our concepts of human adaptive interface.

Many studies have addressed 'Adaptive User Interface (AUI)', wherein the user interface changes in accordance with the situation and the environment of each user at runtime. Nevertheless, previous papers for AUI barely reflected the viewpoints from requirements engineering field, since most of them focused on proposing the architecture and design. In this study, we outline AUI with the perspective of requirements engineering and propose the requirements elicitation and specification method based on concepts which have been researched in the area of self-adaptive system. Step by step, we first redefine and reinterpret the well-known concepts of self-adaptive software, after which the AUI requirements are elicited and specified. Finally, we illustrate a case study, which demonstrates the effectiveness of our method.

This paper proposes an adaptive PCIe system for TI C66x DSPs. Conventionally, the PCIe system provided by the C66x is a system dependent on the structure in which the primary core writes an application to the DSP memory through the PCIe interface, then activate the secondary core. Due to the dependency between the cores, when developing a project using a PCIe interface, the remaining cores have to be programmed with a concern of the primary core used as the PCIe interface. Therefore, in order to de-couple the connections among the cores, an adaptive PCIe system is proposed, in the paper, in which the cores operate independently compared to the conventional system. Since the core used as the PCIe interface only runs PCIe related operations in the new system, the remaining cores can be fully utilized without concerning the connections with the core for PCIe interface. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed adaptive PCIe system, the implementations of LTE-A down link, and IEEE 802.11ac are carried out using the evaluation board which includes a TMS320C6670 chip. Altogether, these results support that we demonstrated that the digital signal processing systems with the PCIe Interface can be developed more rapidly by applying the proposed system.

A novel adaptive mesh refinement(AMR) strategy based on the Moment-of-Fluid(MOF) method for volume-tracking dynamic interface computation is presented. The Moment-of-Fluid method is a new interface reconstruction and volume advection method using volume fraction as well as material centroid. The adaptive mesh refinement is performed based on the error indicator, the deviation of the actual centroid obtained by interface reconstruction from the reference centroids given by moment advection process. Using the AMR-MOF method, the accuracy of volume-tracking computation with evolving interfaces is improved significantly compared to other published results.

Though a mobile device is equipped with a number of wireless communication interfaces in general such as Zigbee, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G, it uses only one interface for a specific service. In this paper, we propose a mechanism of adaptive switching between wireless communication interfaces in order to efficiently use various communication interfaces. Depending on the application service and the characteristics of wireless communication interface, mobile devices select an appropriate wireless communication interface and may switch to another interface during the service. As a result, power consumption can be reduced and the utilization of communication interface can be improved by using this mechanism.

Recently, we should control various devices such as TV, audio, DVD player, video player, and set-top box simultaneously to manipulate home theater system. To execute the function the user want in this situation, user should know functions and positions of the buttons in several remote controllers. Normally, people feel difficult due to these realistic problems. Besides, the number of the devices that we can control shall increase, and people will confuse more if the ubiquitous home environment is realized. Therefore, user adaptive interface that provides the summarized functions is required. Moreover there can be a lot of mobile and stationary controller devices in ubiquitous computing environment, so user interface should be adaptive in selecting the functions that user wants and in adjusting the features of UI to fit in specific controller. To implement the user and controller adaptive interface, we modeled the ubiquitous home environment and used modeled context and device information. We have used Bayesian network to get the degree of necessity in each situation. Behavior selection network uses predicted user situation and the degree of necessity, and it selects necessary functions in current situation. Selected functions are used to construct adaptive interface for each controller using presentation template. For experiments, we have implemented ubiquitous home environment and generated controller usage log in this environment. We have confirmed the BN predicted user requirements effectively as evaluating the inferred results of controller necessity based on generated scenario. Finally, comparing the adaptive home UI with the fixed one to 14 subjects, we confirmed that the generated adaptive UI was more useful for general tasks than fixed UI.

As the mobile computing technologies rapidly develops, the mobile phones are evolving into smart phones capable of higher performance. However, it is inevitable that the mobile phones have limited input/output functions in order to maintain the current portability. Because of the limited input and output, the mobile user interfaces currently adopt the inefficient structures based on sequential search and selection. In this paper, an intelligent and adaptive user interface techniques are proposed in order to surmount the current inefficiency of the static interface and to maximize the user convenience. The proposed techniques, based on the users' previous tasks, automatically generate an intelligent and adaptive user interface in order to make users efficiently utilize the mobile services.
