Adaptive User Interfaces Class 8113d, Fall 94
This page contains a short description of the class objectives and two
lists of documents:
- The papers presented and discussed during
the seminar. A number of these papers are in
PostScript-Format. The access to these PostScript-Files is limited.
- The protocol of the presentations and
discussions, usually in plain ASCII format.
Class Description
Adaptive interfaces are a promising attempt to overcome contemporary problems
due to the increasing complexity of human-computer interaction. They are
designed to tailor a system's interactive behavior with consideration of both
individual needs of human users and altering conditions within an application
environment. The broader approach of intelligent user interfaces includes
adaptive characteristics as a major source of its intelligent behavior.
In this seminar we concentrate on the following aspects of adaptivity in
user interfaces:
- survey and taxonomy of adaptive user interface behavior
- important basic techniques for the implementation of adaptive user
interfaces: user, task, and interaction modeling, user monitoring,
implementation of adaptive behavior, etc.
- success and failure stories: what makes adaptive behavior
successful and under which circumstances?
- usability aspects of adaptive behavior.
There is a tentative schedule for the presentations during the seminar.
