Abstract

This paper presents a human-aware software agent to support a human performing a task that demands substantial amounts of attention. The agent obtains human awareness in an adaptive manner by use of a dynamical model of human attention which is parameterised for specific characteristics of the human. The agent uses a built-in adaptation model to adapt on the fly the values of these parameters to the personal characteristics of the human. The software agent has been implemented in a component-based manner within the Adobe® Flex® environment.
