PUMA PROGRAMMABLE USER MODELLING APPLICATIONS Programmable user models: The story so far
نویسندگان
چکیده
This papers looks in detail at the Programmable User Modelling (PUM) approach to interactive system design. The theoretical background of PUM is discussed and a history of PUM work is outlined. Other related issues such as formal notations, other user modelling techniques used in HCI, and integration are also discussed. An agenda for further work is then proposed.

Formal user models and methods for reasoning about interactive behaviour
User models allow for usability decisions to be made about abstract system designs. Programmable User Models are one such approach to user modelling; they have been developed over the past decade so that they now cover a wide range of informal, semi-formal and fully formal approaches. In this paper we briefly review the approaches investigated, thus setting out a context for Programmable User M...
متن کاملPUMA PROGRAMMABLE USER MODELLING APPLICATIONS A basis for modelling knowledge
An agenda for modelling knowledge is set down. We argue that for PUM a model that allows for less than perfect behaviour is required. Gärdenfors’ [3] approach is looked at and we explain why we consider that the notion of rationality that underlies Gärdenfors’ approach is too strict for our purposes. It is suggested how we can import epistemic logics based on local reasoning and explicit and im...
متن کاملUsers as rational interacting agents: formalising assumptions about cognition and interaction
One way of assessing the usability of a computer system is to make reasonable assumptions about users' cognition and to analyse how they can be expected to work with the system, using their knowledge and information from the display to achieve their goals. This is the approach taken in Programmable User Modelling Analysis, a technique for predictive usability evaluation of interactive systems. ...
متن کاملPUMA PROGRAMMABLE USER MODELLING APPLICATIONS The principle of rationality and models of highly interactive systems
One approach to reasoning about interactive behaviour is to assume that users of computer systems are rational, and that the behaviour of an interactive system results from the rational behaviour of the users together with the implemented behaviour of the devices that make up the total system. These assumptions can be expressed as a coherent set of principles. This approach enables an analyst t...
متن کاملPUMA Footprints: Linking Theory and Craft Skill in Usability Evaluation
‘Footprints’ are marks or features of a design that alert the analyst to the possible existence of usability difficulties caused by violations of design principles. PUMA Footprints make an explicit link between the theory underlying a Programmable User Model and the design principles that can be derived from that theory. While principles are widely presented as being intuitively obvious, it is ...
