Utilizing context information—e.g. location, user aspects, or hardware capabilities—enables the presented generic framework to automatically control the selection and configuration of visualization techniques and therewith provide interactive illustrations, displayed on small mobile devices. For context-annotated data, provided by an underlying context-aware world model, the proposed system determines adequate visualization methods out of a database. Based on a novel analysis of a hierarchical data format definition and an evaluation of relevant context attributes, visualization templates are selected, configured, and instanced. This automatic, interactive process enables visualizations that smartly reconfigure according to changed context aspects. In addition to the generic concept, we present real-world applications that make use of this framework.
