Abstract
A personalized directory system is presented which
demonstrates how automatic user modelling can reduce the average number
of menu-based selections needed to retrieve entries from a large ordered
list, such as a telephone directory. It offers a simple case study for
pilot human factor experiments in automatic user modelling; it affords the
possibility of a device independent menu-selection system; in automatic
user modelling are raised, such as the user's perception of a dynamic
system, the need of user control and the measurement of user
satisfaction.
The personalized directory system is being used as a test-bed to examine
such issues, and will refine our insight into the human factors implications
of user modelling.
