A key factor for success in this sector is awareness\nand readiness to deploy new technologies and exploit the services\nthey offer. Recently, the need for more flexible and dynamic user\ninterfaces (UIs) has been recognized, especially in mobile\napplications. An ongoing research project (MOP), initiated by TUT\nin Finland, is looking at how mobile device UIs can be adapted for\ndifferent needs and contexts. It focuses on examining the possibilities\nto develop adapter software for solving the challenges related to the\nUI and its flexibility in mobile devices. This approach has great\npotential for enhancing information transfer in mobile devices, and\nconsequently for improving information management. The\ntechnology presented here could be one of the key emerging\ntechnologies in the information technology sector in relation to\nmobile devices and telecommunications.","references":"[1] K.
