Scrolling is a frequently used Graphical User Interface widget that enables users to interact with a large amount of data using a limited viewport. However, if excessive data is included in the scroll, users are required to spend a substantial amount of time and effort to find the required information. In this paper, we present adaptive kinetic scrolling (AKS), a technique based on kinetic scrolling by which users can access target information more rapidly on mobile devices. Based on the user’s behavior, AKS detects situations when the user intends to access certain information that may be distant from the current viewport. At this point, AKS amplifies the speed of kinetic scrolling. Furthermore, the scrolling speed adapts according to the size of the remaining data to be scrolled. The more data that the scrolling widget contains, the more rapidly it scrolls so that the user can quickly reach the target. Kinetic scrolling is frequently used in scrolling widgets, and with AKS, users can save time and energy wasted on repetitive meaningless scrolling. We conducted a user study and verified that the proposed scrolling technique enables users to access target information more rapidly, particularly when there is a large dataset to navigate.

RESUMO: O processo de desenvolvimento de interfaces gráficas para o usuário (GUI) de aplicações móveis consome muito tempo durante o ciclo de desenvolvimento. Este artigo tem o objetivo de propor uma nova ferramenta para rápido desenvolvimento de apps Tcl/Tk para a plataforma Android. O método utilizado foi criar um software em Tcl/Tk para a geração de aplicativos para dispositivos móveis. Essa solução é factível para simplificar o complexo processo de desenvolvimento de novos apps e reduzir o esforço inerente de criar aplicações leves que consomem menos recursos de processamento e memória. Como resultado, foi realizado um experimento que mostra o processo de desenvolvimento de uma nova GUI para aplicações robóticas construída com a ferramenta proposta. A principal conclusão é que a ferramenta simplifica a criação de GUIs e gera aplicativos que consumem menos recursos durante sua execução. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Android; Tcl/Tk; Interface gráfica do usuário.   ABSTRACT: The development process of graphical interfaces for users (GUI) of mobile aplications consumes a lot of time during the development cicle. This article aims at proposing a new toolkit for fast development of Tcl/Tk apps for the Android platform. The method used was building a Tcl/Tk software to generate aplications for mobile devices. This solution is feasible to simplify the complex development process of new apps, and reducing the inherent effort of create tiny aplications that consumes less resources of processing and memory. As a result was done an experiment that shows the development process of a new GUI for robotic applications built with the proposed toolkit. The main conclusion is that the toolkit simplifies the building of GUIs, and generates aplications that consume less resources during its running. KEYWORDS: Android; Tcl/Tk; graphical user interface.

WOFOST version 7.1.3 is a computer model that simulates the growth and production of annual field crops. All the run options are operational through a graphical user interface named WOFOST Control Center version 1.8 (WCC). WCC facilitates selecting the production level, and input data sets on crop, soil, weather, crop calendar, hydrological field conditions, soil fertility parameters and the output options. The files with crop, soil and weather data are explained, as well as the run files and the output files. A general overview is given of the development and the applications of the model. Its underlying concepts are discussed briefly.
