Abstract:
Developing an adaptive interface requires a user interface which can be
adapted, a user model, and an adaptation strategy. Research on adaptive
interfaces in the past lacks support from user interface tools which
allow designers to easily create and modify an interface. Also, current
user interface tools provide no support for user models which can collect
task-oriented information about users.
In this paper, we present the User Interface Design Environment (UIDE)
which provides an automatic support for collecting task-oriented
information about users. UIDE uses its high-level specifications in its
application model as a basic construct for a user model. By using this
model, UIDE will be able to provide a number of adaptive features as
interface design options: 1) adapting menu and dialogue box layouts; 2)
suggesting macros to users; and 3) adaptive help.
