Abstract
Users are facing an increasing challenge of managing information and being available anytime anywhere, as the web exponentially grows. As a consequence, assisting them in their routine tasks has become a relevant issue to be addressed. In this paper, we introduce an adaptation mechanism that is responsible for dynamically adapting a BDI agent-based running system in order to support software customisation for users. This mechanism is used within a software framework for supporting the development of Personal Assistance Software (PAS), which relies on the idea of exposing a high-level user model to empower users to manage it as well as increase user trust in the task delegation process.
