Heuristic evaluations are an efficient low cost method for identifying usability problems in a biomedical research tool. Combining the results of these evaluations with findings fr...
Semantically-enhanced Ubiquitous User Modeling aims at the management of distributed user models and the integration into ontologies to share user information amongst adaptive appl...
When people engage in conversation, they tailor their utterances to their conversational partners, whether these partners are other humans or computational systems. This tailoring...

User models (UM)the explicit representation of all relevant aspects of a user's preferences, beliefs, etc. form the basis of virtually all adaptive systems. While early appro...
In a distributed multi-agent based software environment, the traditional monolithic user model ceases to exist and is replaced by user model fragments, developed by the various so...
Several applications support the adaptation of course material. Even though most of these systems allow to specify interaction preferences or even employ user modeling techniques,...
Although asynchronous HTTP technologies have grown in importance with the emergence of Web 2.0, most web-based Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHS) still exclusively use serverside m...
We use an EM algorithm to learn user models in a spoken dialog system. Our method requires automatically transcribed (with ASR) dialog corpora, plus a model of transcription error...
Historically, efforts at user modelling in educational systems have tended to employ knowledge representations in which symbolic (or "linguistic") cognition is emphasize...
This paper describes an approach to adaptive hypermedia by incorporating linkbases into an agent-based system (PAADS). The agents are built on top of an agent framework developed a...
