Abstract
The problem of integrating heterogeneous back-end platforms used in public administration has been widely addressed in a number of research and development projects. In such a complex and heterogeneous environment, application of the SOA paradigm can be particularly beneficial. However, in some application domains – such as the Building Control Administration – there is an additional requirement: integration of heterogeneous front-end platforms – including access through mobile devices. In this paper, a new method of creating adaptable mobile user interfaces for applications based on SOA services is described. In the adaptation process the displayed content is adjusted, the best way of presenting content is selected and interaction methods are adapted to the capabilities of the particular mobile device. Therefore, it is possible to easily make any service accessible on any mobile device – which is of great importance to the Building Control Administration surveyors that operate out of office, directly in the construction field.
