| Abstract: |
The emerging Information Society Technologies (IST) require developers
to have expertise in both computing science and cognitive science if these
technologies are to be functional, relevant, accessible and acceptable to
the citizens of the Information Society. This dual imperative is no more
evident than in the subject of user models, where the needs and requirements
of the intended users, as well as the diversity within this group, are
captured by a systematic set of user models.
Given the emergence of cognitive technologies, it will be argued here that
cognitive user models are becoming of increasing importance. The development of
Simplex Two as a cognitive theory to underpin the development grew from
initial research in assistive technology and cognitive psychology. Simplex One grew
out of Broadbent's work on the "Maltese cross" and on user sensitive application of
assistive technology. As a result of case studies of individuals with disabilities,
literature reviews and designer feedback Simplex two was produced with an increased
number of modules (from four to nine). Two, larger sample qualitative meta-analyses
(n=100; n=90) validated the Simplex Two. The only factors identified in both studies
were the nine factors of Simplex Two. Current work seeks to explore implications of
these factors for the design of accessible systems, for cognitive theory and for the best
ways to encapsulate cognitive user models for adaptive system design.
