ABSTRACT
Adaptation in the user-system interface can be designed to benefit either the system or the user. This paper presents a general model to portray that symmetry and to describe the essential components of the user-oriented version of an adaptive interface system. A function-based interpretation of the process is also characterized. Finally, the types of knowledge bases upon which the adaptation is dependent are described with reference to a prototype system being implemented. Especially those users who have limited understanding of computer technology, such as the numerous workers in offices, are expected to be future beneficiaries of adaptive interface research.

TAMODIA '05: Proceedings of the 4th international workshop on Task models and diagramsThe process of generating user interfaces is complex and demands a great deal of effort from the specialist, because there are several possible combinations and uncertainties regarding any one option. We believe that the modeling of HCI concepts and of ...
