Pragmatic User Modelling in a Commercial Software System
نویسندگان
چکیده
While user modelling has become a mature field with demonstrable research systems of great power, comparatively little progress has been made in the development of user modelling components for commercial software systems. The development of minimalist user modelling components, simplified to provide just enough assistance to a user through a pragmatic adaptive user interface, is seen by many as an important step toward this goal. This paper describes the development, implementation, and empirical evaluation of a minimalist user modelling component for TIMS, a complex commercial software system for financial management. The experimental results demonstrate that a minimalist user modelling component does improve the subjective measure of user satisfaction. Important issues and considerations for the development of user modelling components for commercial software systems are also discussed.

Pragmatic User Modelling for Complex Knowledge-Based Systems
A commercial system under development, the Tax and Investment Management Strategizer (TIMS), has an identified need for a user modelling component to address the complexity issues inherent in real life knowledge-based systems. We propose a pragmatic user modelling componentusing mainly existing technology that provides support for the users, particularly the novice TIMS users and novice Financi...
متن کاملDeveloping a Risk Management Model for Banking Software Development Projects Based on Fuzzy Inference System
Risk management is one of the most influential parts of project management that has a major impact on the success or failure of projects. Due to the increasing use of information technology (IT) systems in all fields and the high failure rate of IT projects in software development and production, it is essential to effectively manage these projects is essential. Therefore, this study is aimed t...
متن کاملModelling the Behaviour of Object Systems with Event Traces
This paper presents a pragmatic approach to the specification of functionality of object-oriented applications. The approach relies on event traces, which are used to depict the co-operation between objects. Event traces model the communication between the objects, whereas object models provide a static view of object structures. Together these two notations form the backbone of object modellin...
متن کاملEncapsulating targeted component abstractions using software Reflexion Modelling
Design abstractions such as components, modules, subsystems or packages are often not made explicit in the implementation of legacy systems. Indeed, often the abstractions that are made explicit turn out to be inappropriate for future evolution agendas. This can make the maintenance, evolution and refactoring of these systems difficult. In this publication we carry out a fine-grained evaluation...
متن کاملDialogue Act Modelling for Analysis and Specification of Web-Based Information Systems
Web-based information systems aim to enable people to live and do things in society with help of computer systems on internet. User interfaces and navigation structures of these systems become more important and critical than the ones of traditional information systems to the user because of the nature and specific characteristics of these systems. The experiences on requirements analysis and s...
