User Modeling in Human ^ Computer Interaction

Since the early 1980's, intelligent and adaptive systems have appeared and have been written about in a variety of guises. Although there are many differences between such systems as adaptive user interfaces, intelligent help systems and explanation…

Designing user-interfaces so that first-time or infrequent users can accomplish their goals by exploration has been an enduring challenge in Human-Computer Interaction. Iterative user-testing is an effective but costly method to develop…

The main products of an applied cognitive psychology are cognitive performance models. The Keystroke-Level Model is a simple model for predicting one aspect of human performance: the time it takes an expert user to perform a given task on a given…

The purpose of this article is twofold. First, we summarize research on the topic of privacy in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), outlining current approaches, results, and trends. Practitioners and researchers can draw upon this review when working…

The objective of this research is to illustrate the importance of users satisfaction in the human-computer interaction. To reach this stage believes it is necessary to consider the task, the activity, and identify the users mental model in terms of…

Cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence, and computer technology have advanced to the point where it is feasible to build computer systems that are as effective as intelligent human tutors. Computer tutors based on a set of pedagogical…

One important aspect of ubiquitous environments is to provide users with the possibility to freely move about and continue the interaction with the available applications through a variety of interactive devices (including cell phones, PDAs, desktop…

Transcendence, peak experience, peak performance and flow are some of the most fundamental positive human experiences. This article explores how these experiences could be understood in human-computer interaction. A mediating concept used in the…

Incorporating the well-known Unified Modeling Language into a generic modeling framework makes research on multimodal human-computer interaction accessible to a wide range off software engineers. Multimodal interaction is part of everyday human…

Defines the psychology of human-computer interaction, showing how to span the gap between science & application. Studies the behavior of users in interacting with computer systems.
