The aim of intelligent user interfaces is to improve the usability of computer systems with respect to effiency, effectiveness and naturalness. This includes adaptivity, context-sensitiveness and active assistance in task execution by reasoning and acting on explicit models of users, domain, task, discourse, and media. Main topics include cognitive complexity models, mulitmodal input and presentation, user and discourse modelling, UI architectures, interface agents, and dialogue formalisms (event systems, grammars, production systems and transition networks)
