Adaptive systems: A solution to usability problems (1993)
Journal Article
Benyon, D. (1993). Adaptive systems: A solution to usability problems. User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction, 3(1), 65-87. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf01099425

Improving the usability of computer systems is perhaps the most important goal of human-computer interaction research. Current approaches to usability engineering tend to focus on simply improving the interface. An alternative is to build intelligenc...

Adaptive systems: from intelligent tutoring to autonomous agents (1993)
Journal Article
Benyon, D., & Murray, D. (1993). Adaptive systems: from intelligent tutoring to autonomous agents. Knowledge-Based Systems, 6(4), 197-219. https://doi.org/10.1016/0950-7051%2893%2990012-i

Computer systems which can automatically alter aspects of their functionality or interface to suit the needs of individuals or groups of users have appeared over the years in a variety of guises. Most recently, attention has focused on intelligent in... Read More about Adaptive systems: from intelligent tutoring to autonomous agents.

Parallel processing techniques in EMP propagation using 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. (1993)
Journal Article
Buchanan, W. J., & Gupta, N. K. (1993). Parallel processing techniques in EMP propagation using 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Advances in engineering software, 18(3), 149-159. https://doi.org/10.1016/0965-9978%2893%2990062-X

The authors have applied the 3D FDTD technique to simulate the propagation of electrical signals on a microstrip antenna using a four-transputer array connected to a 386-based PC. This relates to work currently being carried out into the propagation... Read More about Parallel processing techniques in EMP propagation using 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method..

Rheological spectroscopy of concentrated colloidal dispersions (1993)
Journal Article
Williams, P., Williams, D., & Williams, R. (1993). Rheological spectroscopy of concentrated colloidal dispersions. Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 77(1), 75-79. https://doi.org/10.1016/0927-7757%2893%2980101-j

A new instrument, the virtual gap rheometer (VGR) for the determination of dynamic shear moduli (and mechanical relaxation spectra therefrom) at frequencies above 100 Hz is described. Several features of the VGR which make it particularly suited to t... Read More about Rheological spectroscopy of concentrated colloidal dispersions.

Applying user modeling to human-computer interaction design (1993)
Journal Article
Benyon, D., & Murray, D. (1993). Applying user modeling to human-computer interaction design. Artificial Intelligence Review, 7(3-4), 199-225. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf00849555

Since the early 1980's, intelligent and adaptive systems have appeared and have been written about in a variety of guises. Although there are many differences between such systems as adaptive user interfaces, intelligent help systems and explanation...
