....profiles of community members to make new contacts for social and professional purposes. Another issue involved in user modeling of information retrieval is that some interests are calendar driven by realworld project demands. Automatically managing these limited time influences is addressed in [6]. IV. DISCUSSION AND FUTURE WORK During the evaluation of PeerGlass it became clear that although many of the features were easy to use and some were easy to understand, certain design changes are necessary to clarify the representation of the user s model. These changes will enhance the ....

.... because it has only been recently possible to build real time SLIs, very little is known about how to design them to mitigate current limitations in component technologies, such as automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text to speech synthesis (TTS) as well as inherent limitations with SLIs [1,2,3,4,7]. The single most important design choice is the selection of dialogue strategies that the SLI uses in conversations with the user. One key factor is whether the dialogue strategy is system initiative (SI) or mixed initiative (MI) 7] These strategies are illustrated in D1 and D2 for ELVIS (EmaiL ....

.... subjects did not typically attempt to access to messages in the sequence in which they were received (or reverse chronological order) we felt that it was necessary to provide this as an additional option because other voice and touch tone interfaces to voice and email messages provide this option [2,3,9]. Thus both the SI and the MI system support access to messages by relative position within a folder: users can select messages by saying First, Next, Previous and Last. The WOZ study also confirms that the system should provide help so that users can learn its capabilities. We 3 were ....

....and a record of outgoing email suggests people who might be important. MailCall exploits these various information sources via a background process called CLUES, which scans various databases and automatically generate rules to be used for filtering. For details on the mechanics of the search see [4]) The messages which are prioritized by CLUES are placed in a timely category thus the user can benefit from both static rules in the filtering profile and dynamic ones generated automatically by CLUES. Below are described several information sources and how CLUES uses them to prioritize ....
