Abstract
An effective adaptation of user interfaces approximates technological benefits to the actual needs, wishes and requirements of end users. Today the significant heterogeneity of contexts of use, given mainly by the diversity of devices and the easier access to technology, enables an interaction from many distinct environments and covers different application domains and users’ profiles. However the majority of the applications currently available still rely in a conventional context of use, i.e. an able-bodied user, with a Desktop PC in stable environment. Thus several usability issues are often found, requiring a deeper investigation of how adaptation can be efficiently defined and analyzed regardless of application domains. This paper proposes a theoretical framework that considers dimensions of context and adaptation to support stakeholders in the specification and analysis of context- aware adaptation.
