A Meta-model for Run Time Adaptation in a UI-DSPL process.

Unlike the conventional Software Product Line (SPL) process, the Dynamic Software Product Line (DSPL) process continues to reconfigure and adapt at runtime. In the context of the development of a family of adaptable user interfaces (UIs) and in order to facilitate the design and the development of the runtime adaptation mechanism, we propose a model which defines fundamental concepts required by the UI adaptation mechanism. The model aims to support user interface designers to develop and conceptualize system that accommodate context-awareness, and dynamic runtime adaptation requirements.
