Cognitive Representation of Common Ground in User Interfaces
We argue that Clark’s theory of participant representations of common ground in joint activities between people is relevant to the design of human-computer interaction. Features of common ground can be shown to exist in current interaction models suggesti

Preface User modelling is the essential element of systems which adapt to the individual. With increasing use of computers, by wider and more diverse user populations, there is an increasing need for user-adapted systems. This demand fuels the research into the various aspects of user modelling, from the internal management of the user model to the many issues associated with driving and deploying user-adaptation. User modelling is an inherently multi-disciplinary community. This is a natural development from research models based upon increasing specialisation. Although specialisation enables researchers to acquire depth in their particular technical area, it also produces serious problems when the goal is to produce user-adapted systems. Within each of several specialised communities, researchers have been developing theories and techniques for user-adaptation. The specialist model of research makes it difficult to achieve crossfertilisation between these communities. In the past, this bad led to near-disjoint Iiteratures for the several research communities concemed with user modelling. The User Modelling Conferences have played an important role in bringing together researchers from communities like AI and Education, Computational Linguistics, Intelligent User Interfaces, Information Retrieval and Database Systems. When each of these communities build systems which can adapt to the indi
