Abstract

Currently many software development companies must tackle the challenge of facing the growing interest on those applications able to adapt to different target use environments. In this context, the development of user interface takes more and more efforts in every project. The user interface development, to be made in an efficient and convenient way, must be made by means of user-centered techniques. These techniques support the identifications of the specific requirements of the final users, including those special needs or preferences that user (or final users groups) can present. Therefore, these identified requirements must be process by using variability management techniques in order to produce high quality products, and adapt those requirements in a profitable and reliable way.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a disability with a high incidence and social presence. Because of the special characteristics of this community, it is especially interesting for the application of model-based and variability management techniques, in addition to the social impact that this project provides.
