Mobile applications are an essential element in pervasive and ubiquitous computing, and they face many challenges during their generation process from the analysis of user needs to the design of specific mobile interfaces and their development in several technological platforms. Moreover, the rise of Ambient Intelligent and context-aware environments also introduces multiple interaction aspects to be considered when using mobile devices in this kind of scenarios. The present work seeks to examine the role of design patterns and ontology models in order to help with the generation of mobile applications, which can be adapted at runtime to the various user needs, different context scenarios, interactive design modes, or technology requirements. In this way, an ontology-based framework is introduced to represent, design, and support the adaptation of user interfaces in mobile applications by using design patterns according to these user needs or preferences and the context around them. This framework provides developers with a client-server architecture that enables the access to an expert knowledge base of user, context, and pattern information together with a set of inference rules, which allow the dynamic selection of interface design patterns and the runtime adaptation of the user interface features. These ontology models and inference rules are key components of the proposed framework, and their implementation has helped to produce an example of mobile application supporting user interface adaptation processes for disabled people, which can be required in Ambient Intelligent environments. Three examples of user scenarios have been considered to assess the framework potential, and usability dimensions have been tested by a limited set of users through the produced mobile application, making the usefulness of generated adaptive user interfaces apparent.

移动应用程序是普适计算和无处不在的计算中必不可少的元素，它们在生成过程中面临许多挑战，从分析用户需求到特定移动接口的设计以及它们在多个技术平台中的开发。此外，环境智能和上下文感知环境的兴起还引入了在这种情况下使用移动设备时要考虑的多个交互方面。本工作试图检查设计模式和本体模型的作用，以帮助生成移动应用程序，该应用程序可以在运行时适应各种用户需求，不同的上下文场景，交互式设计模式或技术要求。通过这种方式，引入了基于本体的框架来表示，设计，并通过根据这些用户需求或偏好以及它们周围的环境使用设计模式来支持移动应用程序中用户界面的适应。该框架为开发人员提供了一种客户端-服务器体系结构，该体系结构允许访问用户，上下文和模式信息的专家知识库以及一组推理规则，这些推理规则允许动态选择界面设计模式和运行时适应性。用户界面功能。这些本体模型和推理规则是所提出框架的关键组成部分，它们的实现已帮助产生了一个移动应用程序示例，该应用程序支持残疾人的用户界面适应过程，这在环境智能环境中可能是必需的。
