Model-Based Evaluation of Adaptive User Interfaces

This thesis presents an approach for the automated usability evaluation of model-based adaptive user interfaces. The described approach is supposed to be used complementary to custom evaluations at development time. By combining a user model with user interface models from a model-based development framework, providing different adaptation alternatives, interaction can be simulated and evaluated accordingly. This way, no additional descriptions of the application need to be created for the evaluation. As a result the complexity and costs for applying an automated usability evaluation can be reduced significantly.
