An '''adaptive user interface''' (also known as '''AUI''') is a [[user interface]] (UI) which adapts, that is changes, its layout and elements to the needs of the user or context and is similarly alterable by each user.<ref>{{cite web|title=Workshop on Social Adaptive User Interfaces (SoAUI'07) September 11, 2007 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.|url=http://soaui.albacete.org/|accessdate=8 October 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Malinowski|first=edited by Matthias Schneider-Hufschmidt, Thomas Kühme, Uwe|title=Adaptive user interfaces : principles and practice|year=1993|publisher=North-Holland|___location=Amsterdam|isbn=978-0-444-81545-3|url=http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/bookdescription.cws_home/524434/description#toc}}</ref>
These mutually reciprocal qualities of both adapting and being adaptable are, in a true AUI, also innate to elements that comprise the interface's components; portions of the interface might adapt to and affect other portions of the interface.
This later mechanism is usually employed to integrate two logically distinct components,
such as an interactive document and an [[Application software|application]] (e.g. a [[web browser]]) into one seamless whole.
The user adaptation is often a negotiated process, as an adaptive user interface's designers

The AUI must be designed with varying levels of implementation in mind, and be coupled with a way to measure any particular users needs.
Requires knowing a user's goal in order to most efficiently adapt.<ref name="books 0N9xdnrutSoC"/> On top of being an issue from sorting and interpreting information from the user in order to predict their needs, this can give rise to security issues. Because the information is stored, users lack privacy when utilizing
==Types==
An adaptive user interface can be implemented in various ways. These implementations can differ between the amount of information available to certain users, or how users utilize the application.
