Abstract
We propose consistency priorities to support multi-device interface design minimizing the user’s cognitive effort while performing the same task on different interfaces. The methodology is being evaluated through a framework that generates Pocket PC interfaces from desktop web pages. Initial results point to the acceptance of the approach.
