Follow the link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_(computer_science) Even if the user-centred design process implemented in a project guarantees a certain degree of user acceptance and yields a richer understanding of the context of use the completed product’s ability to adapt to changing conditions still plays a central role for a broad acceptance. The operational environment will change the tasks will be distinct the end-users will be heterogeneous and their competences and expectations will evolve. Here again it is impossible for developers to anticipate all possible requirements modifications. Thus the dynamics of changing conditions shifts the customisation process of the system’s characteristics from the development phase to its usage and operation phase because the time needed for a professional development is too short or the new features are too costly. For this reason developers implement techniques of adaptation into the system in order to react to changing conditions as fast as possible. The example application scenario clearly shows an important distinction concerning such adaptation techniques: the differentiation between manually and automatically performed adaptation processes. Accordingly the term adaptation decomposes into the two terms adaptivity and adaptability. Adaptivity indicates a system that adapts automatically to its users according to changing conditions i.e. an adaptive system. Adaptability refers to users that can substantially customise the system through tailoring activities by themselves i.e. an adaptable system. Adaptive and adaptable systems are complementary to each other.[2] Both methods increase the match between user needs and system behaviour once the development of the system has been finished. Thus the system is kept flexible during usage.
