Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0003327A1] Method, articles, signals, and systems are provided for adaptively shrinking software (208). The software includes one or more adaptive features (204). A tracking facility (600) tracks use of the adaptive features (204), and when it is determined that a given feature is unwanted or unnecessary in the software configuration preferred by a given user, a separation facility (602) separates the feature from the rest of the software. The feature is then archived or deleted. In this manner, resources such as disk space are conserved, program load time and memory requirements are reduced, and user interfaces and supporting code are tailored to meet the needs of particular users.
