User modeling enhances the effectiveness and the usability of software systems in a wide variety of situations. A system that constructs and consults user models can adapt aspects of its performance to individual users or user groups. The goal of this research group is the analysis and development of user modeling shells, which can be exploited in interactive systems, which need a user modeling component.
