<div>a couple of thoughts:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>1 if you have to interact with a particular interface, and have
access to it, you can instrument it using the approach in
http://acs.ist.psu.edu/papers/ritterBJY00.pdf</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>2 if you have not access to the interface, but have to use it
exactly, then look at SegMan</div>
<div> e.g.,
http://acs.ist.psu.edu/papers/ritterVRSASip.pdf and segman
at</div>
<div>
http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/faculty/stamant/segman-introduction.html</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>3 if you have a particular interface, but can duplicate it
easily, consider ACT-R/PM (built into 6),</div>
<div> and/or using cogtool to implement it and the
model</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>While in the UK, you should visit UCL, where Richard Young is,
and he often can provide some help to such projects.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>best of luck,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Frank</div>
<div>ps. if you are working in case 1 or 2, you may also want to
use RUI to record user's actions</div>

a bit of a hard time at the moment. I have been invited to undertake a
research project that includes ACT-R and write a toolkit to perform
cognitive operations on UIs. The platform is Java based which means I
have to communicate with ACT-R (Lisp) through sockets (maybe).
However, I have an open mind on the matter and my question to you is:
what is the best way to interface ACT-R from another platform? I have
read about some work that uses this approach (TCP/IP datagram's) but
I cannot find anything substantial to get me going. Can you
help?</font></blockquote>
