User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction An International Journal Editor Alfred Kobsa Dept. of Information Science, University of Konstanz, Germany Scope User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction (UMUAI) provides an interdisciplinary forum for the dissemination of new research results on computer systems that adapt to their current users and employ user models to do so. The journal publishes high-quality original papers from, e.g., the following areas: - acquisition of user and student models - conceptual models, mental models - dialog planning and response tailoring - levels of user expertise - explanation strategies - intelligent information retrieval - plan recognition and generation - presentation planning - recognition and correction of user misconceptions - user stereotypes - formal representation of user and student models - shell systems for user modeling - tutoring strategies Relevant papers from the fields of psychology, linguistics and the instructional sciences are also considered if they bear implications for the design of computational systems.
