The Solution Area and Fitness-Based Algorithms of the Content-Driven Template-Based Layout System
Authors: , ,
Abstract: People use their mobile devices every day to access a wide variety digital content. The diversity of mobile platforms and that of mobile device capabilities requires providing automatic layout solutions for online content. For the purposes of this paper, our solutions focus on online magazines and newspapers. The Content-Driven Template-Based Layout System (CTLS) is a template-based online magazine layout approach. This approach facilitates in defining hierarchical layouts from basic layout elements and splitter components. The goal is to effectively calculate the resulting adaptation method for a particular layout element at any level of the layout hierarchy. This paper introduces both the solution area-based algorithm and the fitness-based algorithm of the CTLS approach. These algorithms apply inequalities rather than equations. Inequalities, represented by solution areas (polygons), provide the flexibility within the approach.
