Abstract

This paper presents an integrative agent model for adaptive human-aware information presentation. Within the agent model, meant to support humans in demanding tasks, a domain model is integrated which consists of a dynamical model for human functioning, and a model determining the effects of information presentation. The integrative agent model applies model-based reasoning methods to the domain model to analyze the state of the human and to determine how to adapt the presentation of information to this state.
