Abstract
A methodology for development of intelligent user interfaces is presented which allows for programming by correcting behavior, rather than writing programs or scripts. The importance of incremental knowledge accumulation with contributing individuals cooperating over the network is pointed out. The experience of the authors with the prototype of an interface builder and prelimnary results are outlined. The project aims at utilizing the flexibility, that Tcl/Tk offers, to allow for automatic creation of an interface on the basis of previous user interactions with applications. The possible role of the user as a tutor and cooperation of users is described. Would you like to have your own intelligent assistant? Sure, but will such an assistant be smart enough? Can you rely on it? Well, no one knows whether it is feasible to design such an intelligent assistant, and there is little agreement on what it should resemble. This work presents one possible direction. For the purpose of this pa...
