Most applications accessible through the Web suffer from a noticeable lack of support for adapting to the different information needs that different users may have regarding a certain topic. However, completely automatic adaptive support can still be confusing for users who may not understand the reasons for the dynamic change in the behaviour of an application. In this paper, we present a possible solution to provide adaptive support that does not disorient the user. Such a solution integrates a virtual assistant able to provide adaptive support in an adaptable application. We discuss an example of application of this approach to support Web visits to museum information.

Abstract
Most applications accessible through the Web suffer from a noticeable lack of support for adapting to the different information needs that different users may have regarding a certain topic. However, completely automatic adaptive support can still be confusing for users who may not understand the reasons for the dynamic change in the behaviour of an application. In this paper, we present a possible solution to provide adaptive support that does not disorient the user. Such a solution integrates a virtual assistant able to provide adaptive support in an adaptable application. We discuss an example of application of this approach to support Web visits to museum information.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
