Current Research in Adaptive Interfaces

An adaptive interface can be described as a set of displays and controls, a human operator, and an underlying software system that is capable of modifying the portrayal of information, the affordance of control, and the allocation of tasks to be performed as a function of the state of the operator,...

Description
Summary:An adaptive interface can be described as a set of displays and controls, a human operator, and an underlying software system that is capable of modifying the portrayal of information, the affordance of control, and the allocation of tasks to be performed as a function of the state of the operator, the state of the system, and the environment in which both the operator and system are immersed. This article serves as a brief introduction and overview to a special issue of "The International Journal of Aviation Psychology", vol. 11, no. 2 (2001) on current research in adaptive interfaces. The purpose of the issue is to highlight the diversity of application and range of adaptive mechanisms currently pursued within academic, industrial, and governmental research institutions directly related to the aviation domain. Both the human-computer interaction (HCI) perspective and the aviation psychology perspectives are represented. The articles highlight the innovation and variety exhibited in current adaptive interface research and development activities. (CSA)
