Abstract

The increasing number of devices available for each person allows to create unconventional interfaces that coordinate more than one device for supporting the interaction. In this paper, we introduce a framework for designing distributable web applications, which supports moving and sharing the different parts of a user interface across different devices. We depict the architectural solution and we introduce a set of distribution patterns. In addition, we describe a concrete application of the framework for a distributable video player application.
