Fuzzy Reasoning and Fuzzy Automata in User Adaptive Systems

The application of behaviour-based control structures in user adaptive systems gives a simple way for handling online user adaptivity. The main idea of behaviour-based control systems – the intelligent adaptation of the system to the actual situation, by discrete switching to the most appropriate strategy, or by fusing the strategies appeared to be the most appropriate ones – can be easily extended to user adaptivity in emotional, or information retrieval systems. This case the actual user acts the environment to be adapted, while the existing user models are the different “behaviours” handling the actual situations. For introducing the proposed application areas of the behaviour-based control structures, a fuzzy reasoning and fuzzy automata based control structure and its application highlights to user adaptive emotional and information retrieval systems are introduced briefly in this paper.
