Qualifications of the Instructor(s)

Erik G. Nilsson is a Senior Research Scientist at SINTEF ICT. He has been has been working with model-driven systems development at SINTEF since 1984, with a focus on user interface development the last fifteen years. The last seven years he has performed research on user interface development for mobile equipment, with a focus on adaptation and exploiting context information. He has been and is the project leader for two Norwegian research projects (UMBRA and FLAMINCO) that develop design patterns and evaluation methods for user interfaces on mobile equipment. The patterns and methods are developed in co-operation with Norwegian development and consulting companies focusing on mobile technology. Nilsson has authored/co-authored publications for international refereed journals and conferences on re-engineering, systems integration, user interface design, mobile user interface design and model-based user interface development. He has also been instructor at a large number of courses on user interface design and development for Norwegian companies and organizations, and given presentations on numerous industry-oriented seminars.
This tutorial was given at the 12th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction in July 2007 (http://www.hcii2007.org/tutorials/t02.html). This year's variant will have more focus on adaptive and context sensitive user interfaces as well as multimodal interaction, both of which are focus areas of our current research in the FLAMINCO project.
