Web-based Interactive Form Generator for public Kiosks

Self-service Kiosks are found in many public areas such as banks, retail offices, hospitals etc. The creation and deployment of forms for a kiosk usually requires programming and this is a task performed by programmers with technical know-how. This paper presents Web-based Interactive Form Generator (WebIFGen), a prototype system. WebIFGen is a web-based system that allows creation and deployment of forms without any technical know-how. This is achieved by abstracting essential components and processed identified from common kiosk systems. The paper elaborates the design and implementation of the system and discusses on the lesson learned.
