e/Adaptability (computer science)

Information
has gloss	eng: The term “adaptability” (note the difference with the related term Adaptivity_(computer_science)) characterizes a computer system that empowers end-users without or with limited programming skills to customise or tailor this computer system according to their individual or environment-specific requirements. Such adaptable systems allow for fast adaptations to dynamically changing requirements by letting the end-users put their domain-specific expertise to the task of system customisation. After the user identified a change of her needs, she is enabled to manually adapt the system’s features. This approach provides adaptation methods and programming tools that are under the control of the user instead of the system. Therefore, adaptable systems enable users to override certain functions or correct decisions if the system’s model of the user or the environment and the reality mismatch (e.g., refinement of preferences, change of modality).
