Abstract
In this paper we address the evaluation of adaptive applications and services. We propose a layered evaluation approach, where the success of adaptation the major factor affecting the acceptability of adaptive applications-is addressed at two separate layers: (i) interaction assessment and (ii) adaptation decision making. We argue that the proposed framework constitutes an effective means for the evaluation of adaptive applications and services, providing useful information for their improvement, and facilitating generalisation of evaluation results and re-use of successful design practices.
