Intelligent support for nomadic Web applications personalization

The increasing availability of different types of interaction devices raises the need of applications able to adapt to the changing interaction resources. Even systems able to generate interfaces able to adapt taking into account usability criteria may not meet all the specific user preferences. In this paper, we present an approach able to allow users to specify examples of desired changes through direct manipulation of the user interface, and then analyse such changes in order to derive general preferences. The analysis of the user changes is done at a logical level that can be useful to better identify semantic aspects in the users' request. Our approach is mostly addressed to support customization of Web nomadic applications with minimal assumptions about user programming skills.
