Abstract

Intelligent Multimedia Presentation Systems (IMMPS) are characterised by their capability to dynamically adapt at run-time, based on the state of several aspects of user-computer interaction, such as the user profile, task and information characteristics, etc. In this paper, we treat adaptation as a decision making process, and propose the employment of established techniques from the domain of Decision Making to assist this process. It is argued that, following this approach, the adaptation process can be easily modified, customised and re-used in different application domains and for different user interaction requirements. The designer is enabled to incorporate different design strategies, which can be dynamically and automatically modified, according to the run-time requirements of the system. The application of the proposed approach is exemplified in the media/modalities allocation process.
