Um99 User Modeling Proceedings of the Seventh International Conference, Banff, Canada, June 20-24, 1999

User modeling researchers look for ways of enabling interactive software systems to adapt to their users-by constructing, maintaining, and exploiting user models, which are representations of properties of individual users. User modeling has been found to enhance the effectiveness and/or usability of software systems in a wide variety of situations.Techniques for user modeling have been developed and evaluated by researchers in a number of fields, including artificial intelligence, education, psychology, linguistics, human-computer interaction, and information science. The biennial series of International Conferences on User Modeling provides a forum in which academic and industrial researchers from all of these fields can exchange their complementary insights on user modeling issues. The published proceedings of these conferences represent a major source of information about developments in this area.Kay, Judy is the author of 'Um99 User Modeling Proceedings of the Seventh International Conference, Banff, Canada, June 20-24, 1999', published 1999 under ISBN 9783211831519 and ISBN 3211831517.
