Abstract
Personalisation and adaptation capabilities are significantly presented in today web applications. User profiling and user modelling are key activities to achieve the required personalised and adaptive levels in web domains. Adaptive hypermedia systems offer an adequate solution to this demand, but we argue the need to approach these issues from the beginning of the software life cycle. Object-Oriented Web-Solutions Modelling (OOWS) is a UML-based Web Engineering method to develop web applications that is strongly based on conceptual modelling techniques. OOWS has abstract primitives that allow the specification of the user profiles from the very first step of the application life cycle. This paper introduces how OOWS supports the user profiling activities that are the basis to develop personalised and adaptable web applications for specific user requirements.
