Cognitively Informed Intelligent Interfaces: Systems Design and Development

Humans interact with the world through perception, reason about what they see with their front part of their brains, and save what they experience in memory. They also, however, have limitations in their sight, hearing, working memory, and reasoning processes. Cognitively Informed Intelligent Interfaces: Systems Design and Development analyzes well-grounded findings and recent insights on human perception and cognitive abilities and how these findings can and should impact the development and design of applications through the use of intelligent interfaces. Many software and systems developers currently address these cognitive issues haphazardly, and this reference will bring together clear and concise information to inform and assist all professionals interested in intelligent interfaces from designers to end users.

Eshaa Mohamed Alkhalifa has obtained her BSc in Computer Science of the University of Bahrain, her MS in Artificial Intelligence from the University of George Washington, and her PhD in Cognitive Science from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. She has published a number of books, and a large number of journal and conference papers. She held the role of the Academic Vice President of the Royal University for Women until recently when she took some time off to focus on research. Her research interests include the utilization of Cognitive Science findings in increasing the efficiency of learning in general or elearning in particular.

Khulood Gaid has a Bachelor degree in Computing Science from the Royal University for Women, Bahrain. She is currently working as a System Analyst at almarwa.net. She is planning to continue research in the field of Human Computer Interaction and earn her Master's degree. Khulood had worked on many projects in the field of educational adaptive systems. Her next research projects will concentrate on the usage and implementation of cognitively informed interfaces in educational systems.
