Title: Quality of Service for remote UI

Abstract

Within the area of consumer electronics there is need for remoting a user interface from one device to an other. The solution must be brand independent, work on resource constrained devices and be responsive to the user in a wireless (possibly low bandwidth) environment. This combination is an interesting problem to solve.

Within this thesis project we did research in the area of remote user interfaces and present test results of potential remote user interface descriptions. Also we present optimizations for remote user interfaces like an optimization that lowers the need of communications between the server and the client saving bandwidth and processing resources. Also we introduce a new encoding generalized for XML that not only reduces the file size but also saves processing resources at client side. Furthermore we give advice on how animations can be implemented optimally within remote user interfaces.

The results presented can be used to create a standard for remote user interfaces.
