Abstract
This article presents a logical framework that allows the generation of Web user interfaces depending largely on user’s needs and meaningful contextual information. In order to provide means for that, relevant parts of formally connected knowledge in user interaction processes are used to support a reasoning component, which is based on Answer Set Programming (ASP). This task is achieved through generation of visual aspects of user interfaces such as sizes of user interface elements, colours, relative position of the elements or navigation devices used. In Web environments, user interface adaptation is needed to tailor user interfaces to older people’s needs and impairments while preserving their independence.
