“…For example, Song and Cho [25] modelled the ubiquitous home environment through the use of a Bayesian network able to predict the custom devices in each situation. Furthermore, Namgoong et al [26] proposed an adaptive interface to enable end user to utilize the devices easily, through the semantic descriptions and ontology specification.…”

Smart environment is a key challenge for current ICT research: it is one of the solutions that can enhance people's quality of life and enable users with impairment to live independently. Over the years, scientific research has proposed several solutions to help and improve the capabilities of its occupants, but they are often developed for a specific context (e.g. particular disease or impairment). These systems do not adapt to the real needs of users with different profiles, and neglect that the user's requirements may evolve over time. This research work aims to develop a new adaptive smart system able to support users (with and without disabilities) in performing daily tasks by recognizing their preferences and actions and adapting the system feedback consequently. With the aim to develop an easy, efficient and usable adaptive smart system, the final users have been involved in the whole design and development process. The system was validated through a virtual reality system allowing the user interaction evaluation and helping the usability improvement.

“…button size limitations), it does not take into account HCI standards that refer to possible functional diversities of the user because the user preferences are only tied to the display preferences, such as colors. Namgoong et al (2006) propose a system to generate dynamic adapted interfaces for mobile devices. This system comprises four modules:…”

Purpose This paper aims to present a detailed description of Tukuchiy, a framework to dynamically generate adapted user interfaces. Tukuchiy is based on Runa-Kamachiy, a conceptual integration model that combines human–computer interaction (HCI) standards to create user interfaces with user-centered concepts usually addressed by adaptation. Design/methodology/approach The first step was the definition of three profiles: user, context and interface. These profiles contain information, such as user disabilities, location characteristics (e.g. illumination) and preferences (e.g. interface color or type of system help). The next step is to define the rules that ensure usability for different users. All of this information is used to create the Tukuchiy framework, which generates dynamic user interfaces, based on the specified rules. The last step is the validation through a prototype called Idukay. This prototype uses Tukuchiy to provide e-learning services. The functionality and usability of the system was evaluated by five experts. Findings To validate the approach, a prototype of Tukuchiy, called Idukay, was created. Idukay was evaluated by experts in education, computing and HCI, who based their evaluation in the system usability scale (SUS), a standard usability test. According to them, the prototype complies with the usability criteria addressed by Tukuchiy. Research limitations/implications This work was tested in an academic environment and was validated by different experts. Further tests in a production environment are required to fully validate the approach. Originality/value Tukuchiy generates adapted user interfaces based on user and context profiles. Tukuchiy uses HCI standards to ensure usability of interfaces that dynamically change during execution time. The interfaces generated by Tukuchiy adapt to context, functionality, disabilities (e.g. color blindness) and preferences (usage and presentation) of the user. Tukuchiy enforces specific HCI standards for color utilization, button size and grouping, etc., during execution.

A common problem in information systems development is to provide support for adaptation, to automatically adjust their services to different users and contexts. User Interfaces (UI) are required to adapt to those contexts and to satisfy specific criteria and standards to guarantee usability. Several methods have been created to ensure a degree of usability in UI. However, these methods focus mainly in the design stage of the development process. The benefits of these methods may be lost during execution time, since they do not address the necessity to dynamically adapt the interfaces both to context and users. To address this issue it is necessary to integrate User Interface Design with Adaptation, to ensure that UI usability is preserved at the execution time, for different users and contexts. This paper proposes the framework Tukuchiy, a rulebased system that dynamically generates Adaptative User Interfaces, based in HCI precepts. This guarantees their usability during execution time, while taking into account user preferences and context. This paper focused in the rule-based system of Tukuchiy. That rule system includes usability criteria commonly used for web pages, which were mapped to a desktop application.
