Adaptation (computer science), the Glossary
The term “adaptation” in computer science refers to a process where an interactive system (adaptive system) adapts its behaviour to individual users based on information acquired about its user(s) and its environment.[1]

Acceptance testing
In engineering and its various subdisciplines, acceptance testing is a test conducted to determine if the requirements of a specification or contract are met. Adaptation (computer science) and acceptance testing are agile software development.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Acceptance testing
Adaptive system
An adaptive system is a set of interacting or interdependent entities, real or abstract, forming an integrated whole that together are able to respond to environmental changes or changes in the interacting parts, in a way analogous to either continuous physiological homeostasis or evolutionary adaptation in biology.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Adaptive system
Belief
A belief is a subjective attitude that a proposition is true or a state of affairs is the case.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Belief
Catalysis
Catalysis is the increase in rate of a chemical reaction due to an added substance known as a catalyst.

Computer security
Computer security (also cybersecurity, digital security, or information technology (IT) security) is the protection of computer systems and networks from threats that may result in unauthorized information disclosure, theft of (or damage to) hardware, software, or data, as well as from the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Computer security
Confidence
Confidence is the feeling of belief or trust that a person or thing is reliable.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Confidence
Desktop computer
A desktop computer (often abbreviated desktop) is a personal computer designed for regular use at a stationary location on or near a desk (as opposed to a portable computer) due to its size and power requirements.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Desktop computer
Domain knowledge
Domain knowledge is knowledge of a specific discipline or field in contrast to general (or domain-independent) knowledge.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Domain knowledge
Emotion
Emotions are physical and mental states brought on by neurophysiological changes, variously associated with thoughts, feelings, behavioral responses, and a degree of pleasure or displeasure.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Emotion
Empiricism
In philosophy, empiricism is an epistemological view which holds that true knowledge or justification comes only or primarily from sensory experience and empirical evidence.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Empiricism
Flexibility (engineering)
Flexibility is used as an attribute of various types of systems.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Flexibility (engineering)
Homogeneity and heterogeneity
Homogeneity and heterogeneity are concepts relating to the uniformity of a substance, process or image.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Homogeneity and heterogeneity
Information
Information is an abstract concept that refers to something which has the power to inform.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Information
Interactivity
Across the many fields concerned with interactivity, including information science, computer science, human-computer interaction, communication, and industrial design, there is little agreement over the meaning of the term "interactivity", but most definitions are related to interaction between users and computers and other machines through a user interface. Adaptation (computer science) and interactivity are human–computer interaction.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Interactivity
International Organization for Standardization
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental, international standard development organization composed of representatives from the national standards organizations of member countries.
See Adaptation (computer science) and International Organization for Standardization
ISO 9241
ISO 9241 is a multi-part standard from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) covering ergonomics of human-system interaction and related, human-centered design processes (see also human-computer interaction).
See Adaptation (computer science) and ISO 9241
Language
Language is a structured system of communication that consists of grammar and vocabulary.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Language
In user interface design, a menu is a list of options presented to the user.

Mobile computing
Mobile computing is human–computer interaction in which a computer is expected to be transported during normal usage and allow for transmission of data, which can include voice and video transmissions.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Mobile computing
Modality (human–computer interaction)
In the context of human–computer interaction, a modality is the classification of a single independent channel of input/output between a computer and a human.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Modality (human–computer interaction)
Motivation
Motivation is an internal state that propels individuals to engage in goal-directed behavior.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Motivation
Participatory culture
Participatory culture, an opposing concept to consumer culture, is a culture in which private individuals (the public) do not act as consumers only, but also as contributors or producers (prosumers).
See Adaptation (computer science) and Participatory culture
Preference
In psychology, economics and philosophy, preference is a technical term usually used in relation to choosing between alternatives.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Preference
Programmer
A programmer, computer programmer or coder is an author of computer source code someone with skill in computer programming.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Programmer
Psychology
Psychology is the scientific study of mind and behavior.

Requirement
In engineering, a requirement is a condition that must be satisfied for the output of a work effort to be acceptable.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Requirement
Requirements analysis
In systems engineering and software engineering, requirements analysis focuses on the tasks that determine the needs or conditions to meet the new or altered product or project, taking account of the possibly conflicting requirements of the various stakeholders, analyzing, documenting, validating, and managing software or system requirements.
See Adaptation (computer science) and Requirements analysis
Scenario (computing)
In computing, a scenario (loaned) is a narrative of foreseeable interactions of user roles (known in the Unified Modeling Language as 'actors') and the technical system, which usually includes computer hardware and software.
