Abstract

This paper presents the fundamental notions underlying the concept of an intelligent interface by the analysis of recent research. An evaluation of the desirability of this form of interface within an environment of scientific experimentation is discussed. Given the thesis that an intelligent interface is in fact desirable, a proposal is made on how to motivate its utilization.
