This paper introduces and evaluates the most popular User Interfaces Description Languages for device-independent content generation and is organized as follows: Section two outlines the theoretical foundations of the User Interface Description Languages concept. In section three an overview of the most important UIDLs is provided. In subsequent section the described UIDLs are compared with regard to the features relevant for device-independent approaches. Conclusions are driven in the last section. (fragment of text)

Ewolucja jaka miała miejsce w ostatnich latach w dziedzinie systemów telefonii komórkowej, rosnąca popularność urządzeń mobilnych oraz coraz większe wymagania użytkowników odnośnie dostępu do informacji przyczyniły się do gwałtownego rozwoju metod pozwalających na dostarczanie danych niezależnie od typu urządzenia. Z lamusa dawno zapomnianych metod wyciągnięto między innymi koncepcję języków opisujących interfejs użytkownika (ang. UIDL), które nieoczekiwanie znalazły szerokie zastosowanie w generowaniu treści niezależnie od rodzaju urządzenia. Niniejsza publikacja opisuje najbardziej popularne języki typu UIDL oraz oferuje ich analizę porównawczą. (abstrakt oryginalny)
