Smart views in smart meeting rooms.

Information presentation in Smart Meeting Rooms faces huge challenges due to the heterogeneity and dynamic of those environments. The characteristics of different devices, the heterogeneity of the display surfaces and the diverse applications, along with the aim of smart environments to support users in their tasks, pose new problems and challenges for the presentation of information. The aim of this dissertation is to develop solutions for these new challenges. Along with the generation and displaying of information, the interaction with this displayed information plays a crucial role. To present information the concept of the Smart View Management is introduced. The Smart View Management enables the generation, distribution and arrangement of visual outputs of different applications and users, supported by automatic methods. To interact in Smart Meeting Rooms the concept of the Smart Interaction Management is presented. It enables all users to interact with all displayed Information representations on all displays. Furthermore, based on both developed and realized concepts, methods are presented to interactively manipulate the display and the content of information representations.
