This thesis introduces a client-server architecture where customized graphical user interfaces are generated for networked clients with different capabilities. Particularly, it addresses restricted and embedded client devices that have severe limitations in terms of processing power, memory, and input/output interface. On the client side a new virtual machine executes binary user interface packets that are encoded in a new description format. On the server side these customized user interface packets are generated from an abstract user interface specification and a transmitted client profile...
