Abstract

Predicting user behavior is an important issue in Human Computer Interaction ([5]) research, having an essential role when developing intelligent user interfaces. A possible solution to deal with this challenge is to build an intelligent interface agent ([8]) that learns to identify patterns in users behavior. The aim of this paper is to introduce a new agent based approach in predicting users behavior, using a probabilistic model. We propose an intelligent interface agent that uses a supervised learning technique in order to achieve the desired goal. We have used Aspect Oriented Programming ([7]) in the development of the agent in order to benefit of the advantages of this paradigm. Based on a newly defined evaluation measure, we have determined the accuracy of the agent's prediction on a case study.
