A Profile and Design Space for Characterizing User Interface Adaptation
Víctor López‐Jaquero · International Joural of User-System Interaction · 2021
To better characterize the adaptation process of a user interface, we introduce an adaptation profile and a design space based on the seven adaptation stages defined in the GISATIE life-cycle: goals, initiative, specification, application, transition, interpretation, and evaluation.The adaptation profile expresses who is responsible for ensuring each adaptation cycle: one or several end users, one or several machine agents, one or many third parties, and any combination of the former.The adaptation design space expresses seven key dimensions along which adaptation can be decided and designed: autonomy level, granularity level, task resuming granularity, user interface deployment, technological space coverage, user feedback, and modality.Some examples are included to illustrate how to use this profile and design space for two systems ensuring user interface adaptation to some extent.
