Despite Decades of Research, why have Intelligent user Interfaces not Gained Wide Usage?

Intelligent User Interfaces: Survey and Research Directions

Computers are extremely e ective information processors. However, for current, highly interactive usage, computers can only be as e ective as the interface which is used to communicate with them. This report rst examines the development of the user interface to place the intelligent interface in historical context. Following this is a survey of intelligent interface paradigms and techniques. Th...

Answering Why and Why Not Questions in User Interfaces

Modern applications such as Microsoft Word have many automatic features and hidden dependencies that are frequently helpful but can be mysterious to both novice and expert users. The “Crystal” system provides an architecture and interaction techniques that allow the user to ask a wide variety of questions about why the actions did and did not happen, and how to use the related features of the a...

Intelligent Web User Interfaces

This paper investigates the key components of an intelligent web user interface to facilitate online investment as a novel approach to compensating for the impersonality of e-commerce. By analyzing challenges to online brokerage services and evaluating key criteria for a viable intelligence system, we develop a decision tree based intelligent web user interfaces model.

Intelligent User Interfaces: Modelling the User

Current user interfaces are very complex with a large number of functions. Intelligent user interfaces try to help the users performing their tasks. We describe how (Horvitz et al. 1998) construct and created a user model to meet the different challenges which exist. Building on this, we first look how (Hui & Boutilier 2006) model the user’s features explicitly to suggest help based on the user...
