Built-in Knowledge in Adaptive Interface Systems Daniel Crow and Barbara Smith School of Computer Studies, University of Leeds, LS29JT, United Kingdom daniel@dcs.leeds. ac.uk We discuss the construction of task-oriented interfaces and argue that they must adapt themselves to each individual user’s behaviour. Because of the variation between users, it is impracticable to attempt to build irt a priori assumptions about the user. We present an adaptive interface system, DB_Habits, which shows that…

Adaptive User Models for the Design of Intelligent User Interfaces
TLDR
It is shown that over time, through the use of ER-by-Design version 2.0, users accessed help less often and perceived the system as less helpful.
Automating Tasks for Groups of Users: A System-Wide "Epiphyte" Approach
TLDR
This work presents a so-called “epiphyte” approach allowing automation of some of the repetitive tasks only, but working with unmodified applications, and uses external and partial application models to allow recording of hierarchical event histories which facilitate the detection, generalization, anticipation and completion of repetitive sequences of actions.
Designing Model-Based Intelligent Dialogue Systems

    Information Modeling in the New Millennium
  • 2001
TLDR
The implementation of the model is shown by describing an application named Stigma-A STereotypical Intelligent General Matching Agent for Improving Search Results on the Internet and the differences and the advantages of the proposed model are compared.
Adaptivity in graphical user interfaces: an experimental framework
Adaptation: Interface Modification on Dynamic Web Pages through User Access Data-mining Project Goals Background and Significance
  • Computer Science
TLDR
This study looks at structural reorganization of websites and use of colors to facilitate information seeking, finding that a combination approach might be better than a solely structural approach.
Contextual mobile adaptation
TLDR
This thesis presents the Domino framework, and demonstrates that a mobile collaborative software adaptation framework is achievable, and shows that people are comfortable receiving semi–automated software recommendations.
Groupware design : principles, prototypes, and systems
TLDR
This thesis presents four design principles that promote the development of successful groupware and forcefully demonstrate the use of the design principles, and substantiate the claim of their utility.
Task-Oriented Access to Data Files: An Evaluation
TLDR
DalText, a prototype information retrieval system, has been developed that permits the user to select access methods based on the task at hand and it was found that the subjects used the access method best suited to the information task rather than relying on theAccess method with which they were familiar.
Adaptive Toolbars: An Architectural Overview
TLDR
This paper presents a technique for automatically adapting the toolbar to user needs as users work through a document in MS-Word, and shows that on average most subjects prefer the adaptive version of Word.
Attending to individual students: how student modelling can be used in designing personalised blended learning objects
TLDR
The research reported in this paper relates to the development of psychological and domain-based student models and how they can be used together in a composite student model to assist in the selection and use of Blended Learning objects.

User differences in interface design
TLDR
The information systems profession has come to appreciate the importance of interactive interfaces that are tailored to distinct user characteristics, and software designers now recognize several dimensions in specifying user types for any information system, although they are still exploring the nature and interaction of those dimensions.
Adaptive personalized interfaces—A question of viability
TLDR
This work is to determine the viability of an adaptive interface through a human–factor pilot study of a simple, specially designed, interactive computer system that uses menu–driven selection to retrieve entries from a large ordered telephone directory.
Why Build Adaptive Systems
Intelligent Interface Design
Task-oriented parsing - a diagnostic method to be used adaptive systems
TLDR
A Prolog implementation of a task-oriented parser (+ generator) based on a grammar notation called LEXITAS is presented, and an online coach for a UNIX-like file management system is described.
Interface design and multivariate analysis of UNIX command use
TLDR
To understand how people interact with powerful computer systems, the commands people use and the errors they made when performing office work with the UNIX operating system are analyzed, using several multivariate statistical analyses.
Investigations into history tools for user support
History tools allow users to have access to past interactions kept in a history and to incorporate them into into the context of their current operations. Such tools appear in various forms in many…

Substructure Discovery in Executed Action Sequences
TLDR
The goal of this thesis is to show how a system can learn useful macro operators by observing a task being performed, and an intelligent robot can learn how to perform new tasks by watching tasks being performed by someone else, even if the robot does not possess a complete understanding for the actions being observed.
Adaptive user interfaces
Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for creating and displaying adaptive user interfaces are disclosed. An example method includes receiving a user interface by an application…
