| Abstract: | Accessibility and high quality of interaction with products, applications, and services by anyone, anywhere, and at any time are fundamental requirements
for universal access in the emerging Information Society. This paper discusses these requirements, and their relation to the concept of automated
adaptation of user interfaces. An example application is presented, showing how adaptation can be used to accommodate the
requirements of different user categories and contexts of use. This application is then used as a vehicle for discussing a
new engineering paradigm appropriate for the development of adaptation-based user interfaces. Finally, the paper investigates
issues concerning the interaction technologies required for universal access.
