It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.

Kelly, C. and Colgan, Lynne (1992): User Modelling and User Interface Design. In: Monk, Andrew, Diaper, Dan and Harrison, Michael D. (eds.) Proceedings of the Seventh Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers VII August 15-18, 1992, University of York, UK. pp. 227-239.

This paper presents an analysis of user and task models which takes into consideration the different types of each model, the differences between the models, and their relationship to user interface design. A UK collaborative project known as ADEPT (Advanced Design Environment for Prototyping and Task Modelling) is outlined, and in particular the development of the ADEPT User Model is described. It constitutes a computational model of a `typical' user, and is structured from a high level picture of a generic user based on a cognitive architecture, down to characteristics applicable to a group of users.
