摘要：Interest among software professionals in the possibility ofadapting software to user requirements has grown as a result ofthe evolution of software analysis, design and implementationthinking and the growth in the number of software systemsusers. Moving away from the traditional approach where theuser has to settle for the options offered by software systems,different factors (e.g. user needs, aspirations, preferences,knowledge level, goals) have to be taken into account for thispurpose. Technically, this possibility is referred to asadaptiveness, and it requires user data. It is these data (usermodel) that determine the adaptiveness conditions. Our aim isto build a user model for adaptive systems applied to nutritionalrequirements, modelling user characteristics that affect theirdiets and help to improve their health. To build the user model,we apply the user profile usability technique. In order tovalidate our proposal, we analyse and design a preliminaryprototype of an adaptive system capable of making foodrecommendations to satisfy specific user needs. This studyrevealed that diet is a propitious field for the development ofadaptive systems and that user modelling is a good choice fordesign of this type of systems.
