[ACT-R-users] two papers of interest: predicting phone usage, and Categorical displays

[Frank Ritter]

I've not seen a lot of papers being sent out to these lists lately, 
but I think doing so is still important and can be relevant.

There are two papers about to be published that I would like to 
share.  Both are online.  The first is a success story of a  model to 
predict human behaviour.

    phone menu interaction.  Proceedings of CHI'04.

The other paper introduces a display tool (CaDaDis) for categorical 
data that we have hooked up to Soar and to ACT-R.  If you would like 
to use it, you can download it (details of what it is in the paper). 
If you have problems using it, or want it extended,  our project 
includes the ability to support this type of development.
