Abstract: | This paper presents a novel method for user classification in adaptive systems based on rough classification. Adaptive systems
could be used in many areas, for example in a user interface construction or e-Learning environments for learning strategy
selection. In this paper the adaptation of web-based system user interface is presented. The goal of rough user classification
is to select the most essential attributes and their values that group together users who are very much alike concerning the
system logic. In order to group users we exploit their usage data taken from the user model of the adaptive web-based system
user interface. We presented three basic problems for attribute selection that generates the following partitions: that is
included, that includes and that is the closest to the given partition.

in Poland. He received his diplomas of M.Sc, Ph.D. and D.Sc. in Computer Science in 1986, 1989 and 2002, respectively. Actually,
he is working on intelligent technologies for conflict resolution and inconsistent knowledge processing and e-learning methods.
His teaching interests consist of database systems and distributed systems. He is a co-editor of 4 special issues in international
journals, author of 3 monographs, editor of one book and about 110 other publications (book chapters, journal and refereed
conference papers). He is an associate editor of the following journals: “International Journal of Computer Science & Application”; “Journal of Information Knowledge System Management”; and “International Journal of Knowledge-Based & Intelligent Engineering Systems”. He is a member of societies: ACM, IFIP WG 7.2, ISAI, KES International, and WIC.
Janusz Sobecki, Ph.D.: He is an Assistant Professor in Institute of Applied Informatics (IAI) at Wroclaw University of Technology (WUT). He received
his M. Sc. in Computer Science from Faculty of Computer Science and Management at WUT in 1986 and Ph.D. in Computer Science
from Faculty of Electronics at WUT in 1994. For 1986–1996 he was an Assistant at the Department of Information Systems (DIS)
at WUT. For 1988–1996 he was also a head of the laboratory at DIS. For 1996–2004 he was an Assistant Professor in DIS and
since fall of 2004 at IAI, both at WUT. His research interests include information retrieval, multimedia information systems,
system usability and recommender systems. He is on the editorial board of New Generation Computing and was a co-editor of
two journal special issues. He is a member of American Association of Machinery. |
