Distributed User Interfaces Community Group created

The Distributed User Interfaces Community Group has been launched:
  http://www.w3.org/community/dui/

--------------------------------------------------

Current technology and ICT models generate configurations where the same
user interface can be offered through different interactions. These new
technological ecosystems appear as a result of the existence of many
heterogeneous devices and interaction mechanisms. Consequently, new
conditions and possibilities arise which not only affects the
distribution of the user interfaces but also the distribution of the
involved users’ interactions. Thus, we move the focus from addressing
the distribution of user interfaces to the distribution of the users’
interactions which poses new challenges that deserve to be explored. In
this context Web engineering appears as a fundamental research field
since it helps to develop device-independent Web applications with user
interfaces capable of being distributed and accessed through different
interaction modes. This fact makes Web environments to be especially
interesting within the scope of this community group. The main goal is
to join people working on Distributed Interactions and share their
knowledge in aspects related to new interaction paradigms and the way we
can manage them in a distributed setting on the World Wide Web.
