Currently, many learning environments offer little or no support for adaptivity. This is especially regrettable for ordering and presenting the content. In this paper, we outline how adaptability can be applied to e-learning environments. We discuss two environments that support a certain adaptability. We conclude by outlining plans for future adaptability research and development.

This paper deals with a new quantitative model for adaptability evaluation of enterprise information systems (EIS). Firstly, a new evaluation model based on QFD is proposed, and the corresponding evaluation algorithm is given. Secondly, the procedures of EIS adaptability evaluation are discussed. Finally, the application of the evaluation model and algorithm is verified through an example, whic...

Adaptability is mostly defined as the ease with which a system may be adapted to the changing context. The questions which form the guidelines for our research activities are among others: What is being adapted? How can the adaptation take place? What are the restrictions or the constraints? Who is responsible for the adaptability? We made an attempt to provide answers to these questions in thi...

This paper discusses the implementation of adaptability in environments that are based on the Standard Reference Model for hypermedia. This adaptability is explored in the context of style sheets, which are represented in such formats as DSSSL. The use of existing public standards and tools for this implementation of style sheet-based adaptability is described. The Berlage environment is presen...

This paper discusses the implementation of adaptability in environments that are based on the Standard Reference Model for Intelligent Multimedia Presentation Systems. This adaptability is explored in the context of style sheets, which are represented in such formats as DSSSL. The use of existing public standards and tools for this implementation of style sheet-based adaptability is described. ...

Intelligent behaviors of humans are based on owning knowledge and adaptive employment of knowledge, especially embodied in the adaptive settlement of unpredicted event. These imply greater adaptability of human to environmental variation as well as more intrinsic intelligence. Thus our researches address to induce human’s adaptive behavior and investigate the effect of human adaptability on pro...

Adaptability is an essential feature of future operating systems. In contrast to problem-speci c mechanisms, e. g. replication of les or migration of processes, this paper investigates a general, straightforward approach in an object-oriented environment. Adaptability is provided for all objects regardless of their type and the required type of adaptability, e. g. replication, migration, access...
