A Contextual Framework for Adaptive User Interfaces: Modelling the Interaction Environment
The interaction context (or environment) is key to any HCI task and especially to adaptive user interfaces (AUIs), since it represents the conditions under which users interact with computers. Unfortunately, there are currently no formal representations to model said interaction context. In order to address this gap, we propose a contextual framework for AUIs and illustrate a practical applica- tion using learning management systems as a case study. We also discuss limitations of our framework and offer discussion points about the realisation of truly context-aware AUIs.
