Multimodal response planning: an adaptive rule based approach

Abstract

This paper describes the architecture and prototype of a system which dynamically determines how to present information to a user. The system utilizes a rule based approach to select one or more modalities for presenting information.Next the system determines one or more techniques to present the information within each of the previously selected modalities.This system also adapts to individual users providing flexibility not found in traditional presentation systems. Finally, models are used for storing knowledge about the user resulting in a system which can be easily enhanced as new data is obtained and can adapt to the needs of its users.

Adaptive Initial Users’ Overview of a Map Visualisation

“…One of the most important steps in a research is the system evaluation which can greatly examine the system successfulness and declare the improvement approach. Robert et al [24] system is a system without the previous discussed limitations but it does not include an evaluation or reporting section to understand what were the results of the work. However, evaluation played a great role in my system development process.…”

“…Robert et al [24] describes the architecture of a rule-based system which dynamically selects modalities for representing information. The system then specifies techniques for representing information within each of the selected modalities.…”

“…These techniques depend on users' preferences. Users' preferences determines the techniques of how to use modalities and if they should be combined [24]. Figures 2.3 and 2.4 are examples of the system outputs based on type of personas using the system.…”

“…Figures 2.3 and 2.4 are examples of the system outputs based on type of personas using the system. Figure 2.4: The response for the factory manager [24] In this system [24] users' information is stored in users' models. There are personas in format of user models which determine each group of users' preferences, but the visualisations are adaptable to the individual users as well.…”

“…As an example, the system represents multiple presentation for new users but a single most used presentation for older users. This system [24] has been built based on a machine factory dataset.…”
