Abstract
Normally the user interface just plays the role as a bridge between users and only one application core technology at runtime. In order to be integrated with new application cores the user interface must be recompiled, repackaged and also redeployed so that it works correctly with the technology of the new core. In this article we introduce the design and implementation of an adaptive user interface which can be configured dynamically and integrated at runtime with the appropriate application core. We will then also discuss about some other possibilities, in which this approach is used to provide the users more flexibilities in use through this adaptive interface.
