Human-machine interaction through an intelligent user interface based on contention architecture

A new approach to the utilization of intelligent control to enhance an interface for human-machine interaction is presented. The novel concept of contention architecture is introduced, based on the cooperation and competition of a number of software agents. The architecture is embedded within a graphical user interface, determining human intentions during the use of a computer mouse for performing traditional computer tasks. Through experiments with 6 human subjects it is shown that the intelligent component of the user interface enhances the effectiveness and efficiency of human-machine interaction.
