Abstract:
Modern technology promises mobile users Internet connectivity anytime, anywhere, and using any device. However, given the constrained capabilities of mobile devices, the limited bandwidth of wireless networks and the varying personal preferences, effective information access requires the development of new computational patterns. The variety of mobile devices available today makes device-specific authoring of web content an expensive approach. The problem is further compounded by the heterogeneous nature of the supporting devices and the users' behaviour. This research investigates the challenges posed by these problems, and proposes a context-aware adaptation framework to bridge the gap between the existing Internet content and today's heterogeneous computing environments.
