From a topological model of a working environment, MIGRIXML
automatically generates a virtual reality environment for controlling
the run-time migration of a graphical user interface from one
computing platform to another one (e.g., from a desktop to a
pocket computer), from one interaction surface to another (e.g.,
from a laptop to a wall screen) at run-time. For this purpose, any
user interface subject to migration is described in USer Interface
eXtensible Markup Language regarding its look & feel as well as
the platforms and the surfaces involved in the migration. Each
interface, in part or in whole, can be attached to a platform or a
surface, detached from it, and migrated across platforms or interaction
surfaces. Instead of communicating data and code during
the migration, the description of the user interface of concern is
wirelessly passed from one platform to another one to be regenerated
on the target platform. To ensure a continuous control of the
run-time migration, MIGRIXML automatically generates a world
model representing the context of use where the source/target
platforms/interaction surfaces are represented. Finally, migrating a
user interface becomes as natural as its direct manipulation from
one platform to another exactly in the same way as it is done on a
single platform.
