The DesignComposer: Context-Based Automated Layout for the Internet

Layout plays crucial role in readability and interpretation of presentations. This holds also for online presentations, where automated layout generation is needed to deal with dynamic presentation contents and changing presentation contexts. In this paper, we present the DesignComposer prototype, an automated layout generator for web pages. It uses different AI approaches and a declarative representation of knowledge about design and presentation context to gain maximum flexibility in the generation process as well as an easy access to the layout knowledge.
