Evolution of Adaptive GUI Layouts over Time

Adaptive User Interfaces (AUIs) are those user interfaces, mostly graphical, that can adapt themselves (Findlater and Gajos, 2009) depending on varying conditions from the end user (e.g., preferences), the platform (e.g., the screen resolution), or the environment (e.g., a noise level or a location). In this area, adaptive layout refers to the ability of a …

Socio-demographic aspects of adaptive user interfaces

Adaptive User Interfaces (AUIs), a well-known research sub-field within Intelligent User Interfaces (IUIs), were defined by Maybury (1999) as “human-computer interfaces that aim to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and naturalness of interaction by representing, reasoning, and acting on models of the user, domain, task, discourse, and media (e.g., graphics, natural language, gesture)”. User interface adaptation …

Adaptive automation systems based on brain-computer interfaces

Automation is at the heart of most technologies we use in our daily life, with applications ranging from automotive (e.g., manual vs. automatic transmission system and autopilots) and household appliances (e.g., kettle, washing machine) to industrial machinery and healthcare systems (e.g., patient monitoring, autonomous surgery). Reducing the need for human intervention in automated processes brings …
