WEB-BASED ADAPTIVE USER INTERFACES:
PROBLEMS, METHODS AND APPLICATIONS
http://ia-serv.dia.uned.es/~jgb/waui01/
Invited Session at
Fifth World Multiconference On Systemics, Cybernetics
and Informatics (SCI'2001)
July 22-25, 2001
Orlando, Florida USA
Sheraton World Resort

Background and Motivation
Adaptive User Interfaces are software artifacts
that improve their ability to interact with a user
by constructing a user model based on partial
experience with that user. Although they can be
used in a number of different tasks, Internet is
one of the domains that can benefit most from this
kind of software. The growing amount of contents
and services available on the WWW makes very
difficult to find and select the pieces of
information required by the users. Web-based
Adaptive User Interfaces can provide a
personalized user interaction improving the user
experience in a variety of contexts such as
e-commerce, distance education or cooperative
work.
For a system to be really adaptive, simple
memorization of its interaction with the user does
not suffice. Ideally, adaptation results from
generalizing previous experiences and applying
these generalizations to new user interactions,
i.e., from learning. However, although learning
should play a key role in Adaptive User
Interfaces, their design goes far beyond the
simple application of a learning method. A number
of research issues have been addressed from a
variety of disciplines such as as machine
learning, web mining, intelligent tutoring,
adaptive hypermedia, human-computer interaction
and user modeling. The goal of this Session is to
bring together researchers and practitioners from
all of these areas to meet and discuss common
issues and problems.
Submissions
Potential participants should submit an extended
abstract or paper draft of their work in the area.
Submissions will be reviewed by independent
referees from the Program Committee and should not
exceed 2000 words for extended abstracts and 5000
words for paper drafts. Paper submissions should
be sent via electronic mail as a PostScript or PDF
to [log in to unmask] Alternatively, 4 hard
copies of the submission can be sent to:
Elena Gaudioso
Dpto. Inteligencia Artificial

In order to get an early estimate of the possible
attendance, we would appreciate that you send an
email to [log in to unmask] or to some of the
organizers indicating whether you intend to submit
a paper. Of course, by doing so, you make no
commitment whatsoever.
Accepted papers will be published in the SCI
proceedings. We are talking with Springer Verlag
for including selected papers in a volume of a new
Springer International series on Advanced
Information Systems.
