Abstract

The application of an object-oriented approach to modeling the application and presentation layer of the human-machine interfaces in a telecommunications management network architecture is described. It is argued that a significant simplification in information interchange between human and machine occurs when the machine has a model of the user to which it can conform. Several aspects of user modeling are discussed. The development and implementation of new input devices are also discussed.<>
