Abstract:
Adaptive prompting addresses problems with locating,
referencing, and selecting interface items such as elements of
directory hierarchies or menu and dialog box entries. By drawing
the user's attention to the most appropriate and most likely to be
chosen items, adaptive prompting tries to increase users'
performance on selections and to provide guidance in explorative
environments. Examples for adaptive prompting include an Adaptive
Tool Prompter, an Adaptive Action Prompter, and Adaptive Prompting
in Dialog Boxes. In order to deal with application contexts and
evolving needs and preferences of the user, adaptive prompting
employs models of the application and the user. The chosen approach
allows for an optional user involvement into the adaptation and for
an evaluation of the embedded prompting strategies. Multimodal
user interfaces provide further perspectives for adaptive
prompting.
