Towards Compositional Design and Evaluation of Preference Elicitation Interfaces

Creating user preference models has become an important endeavor for HCI. Forming a preference profile is a constructive process in the user's mind depending on use context as well as a user's thinking and information processing style. We believe a one-style-fits-all approach to the design of these interfaces is not sufficient in supporting users in constructing an accurate profile. We present work towards a compositional design approach that will lead designers in the creation of preference elicitation interfaces. The core of the approach is a set of elements created based on design principles and cognitive styles of the user. Given the use context of the preference elicitation suitable elements can be identified and strategically combined into interfaces. The interfaces will be evaluated in an iterative, compositional way by target users to reach a desired outcome interface.
