Things to watch out for...

Termination

• Termination refers to the graceful ending to a series of rules executed as a result of a single event (typically the access of a page)
• Developers should make sure that there are no conditions in their adaptation rules that would result in an infinite loop

Confluence

• The Merriam-Wester dictionary defines confluence as: a coming or flowing together, meeting, or gathering at one point
• Confluence here refers to the the execution of the adaptation rules, and the behavior that this execution should result in the same outcome
• Developers should thoroughly test that their applications have confluence

The ultimate goal is to develop an adaptive system that is useful to the users' specific needs, and doesn't leave them forever going in circles.
