This book addresses the issue of how the user’s level of domain knowledge affects interaction with a computer system. It demonstrates the feasibility of incorporating a model of user’s domain knowledge into a natural language generation system.

User modeling researchers look for ways of enabling interactive software systems to adapt to their users-by constructing, maintaining, and exploiting user models, which are representations of properties of individual users. User modeling has been found to enhance the effectiveness and/or usability of software systems in a wide variety of situations.Techniques for user modeling have been developed and evaluated by researchers in a number of fields, including artificial intelligence, education, psychology, linguistics, human-computer interaction, and information science. The biennial series of International Conferences on User Modeling provides a forum in which academic and industrial researchers from all of these fields can exchange their complementary insights on user modeling issues. The published proceedings of these conferences represent a major source of information about developments in this area.

This book highlightsstate-of-the-art research, development and implementation efforts concerningsocial media in government services, bringing together researchers andpractitioners in a number of case studies.
