Abstract:
Decision making theories seem very promising for improving human-computer interaction. However, the actual process of incorporating multi-criteria analysis into an intelligent user interface involves several development steps that are not trivial. Therefore, we have employed and tested the effectiveness of a unifying life-cycle framework that may be used for the application of many different multi-criteria decision making theories. The life-cycle framework is called MBIUI and in this paper we show how we have used it for employing a multi-criteria decision making theory, called Simple Additive Weighting, in an affective bi- modal educational system. More specifically, we describe the experimental studies for designing, implementing and testing the decision making theory. The decision making theory has been adapted in the user interface for combining evidence from two different modes and providing affective interaction.
