Abstract

Efficient user interfaces help their users to accomplish their tasks by adapting to their current needs. The processes involved before and during interface adaptation are complex and crucial for the success and acceptance of a user interface. In this work we identify these processes and propose a framework that demonstrates the benefits that can be gained by utilizing the user's visual attention in the context of adaptive cartographic maps.
