| DESCRIPTION | User-Adaptive Systems are systems that are able to discover, represent, and manipulate, user interests and requirements as users navigate and search through an information space, and then adapt the organisation of and the presentation of information accordingly. This study-unit explores the history of user-adaptive systems and delves into essential components of user-adaptive systems: user modelling, information and knowledge representation, adaptation techniques, intelligent tutoring systems and hypertext systems.
