The Search for Intelligent Websites

Since 1996, Jared Spool has been searching for the perfect website. Six years later, he is still searching. All he wants is a single website that can meet the users needs more than half the time. Why is that so hard to find?

This informative, entertaining and controversial presentation will give you an insight into the challenges facing web designers, and demonstrate how recent breakthroughs have shown us the direction web design needs to take to finally make websites usable.

The talk is organised by the Edinburgh Branch of the British Computer Society in association with the British Human-Computer Interaction Group.
