Abstract:
Different users have different needs and, especially in the web context, the user interfaces should deal with these different needs. In this paper we propose a framework to support the design and development of flexible, adjustable interfaces; the framework is grounded in the semiotic concept of norms and is developed using Ajax technology. The framework was tested within the Vilanarede system, an inclusive social network system developed in the context of e-Cidadania project. The test helped us to identify the advantages and drawbacks of the proposed solution and the users provided us with important feedback to improve it.
