Analysis of scientific research on the development of adaptive and self-adaptive software systems is conducted. It is established that the use of machine learning methods and feedback diagrams is an effective way to design and develop adaptive software. It is determined that the existing methods do not fully provide the possibility of dynamic changes and expansion of functional and graphic characteristics. The software adaptation process is designed based on the ontological model using the semantic decision-making mechanism. The proposed method allows us to dynamically determine the necessary system characteristics and perform software adaptation. Modification process takes into account the information about currently active device based on data about the needs and requirements of the user. Using the results of designing an abstract approach to software configuration modification, an experimental study of the speed of generating optimal system settings is conducted. According to the results of the experiment, it is established that the new method demonstrates 20% better indicators of the speed of generating software settings compared to classical approaches.
