Abstract

This research describes the application of an executable user model to generate policies to adapt software to best fit the user. Our approach first gathers data describing how users behave, and uses these data to induce a computational model that predicts how users will perform in a particular situation. Since system designers have differing goals, our architecture takes an arbitrary goal that the designer would like to see users achieve. Our architecture than using rollout techniques to determine how software should act in a particular situation with the user in order to achieve the desired goal.
