ABSTRACT
For decades, researchers have presented different adaptive user interfaces and discussed the pros and cons of adaptation on task performance and satisfaction. Little research, however, has been directed at isolating and understanding those aspects of adaptive interfaces which make some of them successful and others not. We have designed and implemented three adaptive graphical interfaces and evaluated them in two experiments along with a non-adaptive baseline. In this paper we synthesize our results with previous work and discuss how different design choices and interactions affect the success of adaptive graphical user interfaces.

Impact of screen size on performance, awareness, and user satisfaction with adaptive graphical user interfaces
CHI '08: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsAdaptive personalization, where the system adapts the interface to a user's needs, has the potential for significant performance benefits on small screen devices. However, research on adaptive interfaces has almost exclusively focused on desktop ...
Predictability and accuracy in adaptive user interfaces
CHI '08: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWhile proponents of adaptive user interfaces tout potential performance gains, critics argue that adaptation's unpredictability may disorient users, causing more harm than good. We present a study that examines the relative effects of predictability and ...
A comparison of static, adaptive, and adaptable menus
CHI '04: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsSoftware applications continue to grow in terms of the number of features they offer, making personalization increasingly important. Research has shown that most users prefer the control afforded by an adaptable approach to personalization rather than a ...
