Evolution of Adaptive GUI Layouts over Time

by Jean VanderdoncktUncategorized April 28, 2023April 28, 2023No Comments

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

by Georgiana DarauUncategorized February 28, 2023March 8, 2023No Comments

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 …
