Abstract:
Adaptable interfaces offer the possibility of more maintainable and reliable systems. This paper defines the four ways interfaces can change and develops the concept of adaptability using communications theory. Adaptability is a complex process, which requires a number of supporting processes. Together these processes automatically negotiate possible capabilities across an interface. The concept of state-pairs is used to define communicating entities, interface, comparison, measured information, communications, flexibility and finally adaptability.
