Abstract

Presentation models are used by intelligent user interfaces to automatically construct adapted presentations according to particular communication goals. This paper describes the characteristics of a presentation model that was designed to automatically produce multimedia presentations about the summarized behavior of dynamic systems. The presentation model is part of the MSB application (Multimedia Summarizer of Behavior). MSB was developed for the problem of management of dynamic systems where different types of users (operators, decision-makers, other institutions, etc.) need to be informed about the evolution of the system, especially during critical situations. The paper describes the details of the presentation model based on a hierarchical planner together with graphical resources. The paper also describes an application in the field of hydrology for which the model was developed.
