Abstract
Applications and technical solutions change very quickly. Societies change also change to certain extent. Users do not change in the same manner. They want to use systems in a way they are used to. So a systems should be smart in the sense that users may stay within their habits, their way of working, their ways of accessing systems, and their circumstances. We introduce a culture-based approach to smart systems. Such smart systems may adapt to the current user independently on her/his age, abilities, habits, environments, and collaborators of them.

Stereotypes should satisfy at least five properties: (1) they must be accurate; (2) the quality of the stereotype allows it to be used consciously; (3) they should be descriptive, not evaluative; (4) they should be flexible so that they can be modified from time to time; (5) they can be used as a first “best guess”.
