Abstract

The Web movement beyond desktop to different devices amplified the possibilities to ensure access to in-formation for all. Nevertheless, the consideration of multiple devices and different user conditions for the applications brings complexity to the design and development processes. On the one hand, some existing tools take into account the design and development of user interfaces according to the target device, but do not consider the diversity in terms of end user conditions (e.g., abilities, preferences, culture, limitations, education). On the other hand, some systems provide the adjustment to users with special needs, but do not adapt to multiple devices. In this paper, we present results of a systematic review on literature to build a roadmap on the twofold adaptability of user interfaces: for different users and multiple devices. The results point out a growing demand for solutions that consider adaptation to both: different users and devices; moreover a distribution of the works per type of adaptation mechanisms found suggest aspects still to be covered in further research in the field.
