This chapter presents a concept of user modeling including users with different range of abilities. The chapter starts with a brief summary of existing approaches of user modeling and points out the uniqueness of our work. The user model is implemented through a simulator and a set of web services. The simulator is intended to be used as a tool for improving interface designs while the web services provide runtime adaptation. We have presented brief detail of both the simulator and the web service, their applications and conclude by discussing implications and limitations of user modeling. Later, Chap. 10 presents a concept of extending the idea of user modeling across different types of projects and standardizing it.
