Abstract:
Nowadays, users access Web-based Information Systems (WIS) through various devices (desktops, laptops, Mobile Devices (MD) such as PDA). In nomadic environments, when a user queries a WIS, the result should be adapted according to her/his context of use. In our work, this context is represented by the personal characteristics of the user, the features of her/his access device and her/his location. In order to provide WIS designers with mechanisms for adapting information we propose PUMAS-AWS. This is a multi-agent framework which integrates the concept of Adapted Web Services (AWS, concept which introduces the adaptation into the Web Services standards) into the PUMAS framework (which is able to adapt, according to the context of use, the results of the queries of a nomadic user). This paper describes PUMAS-AWS which provides a nomadic user with adapted information retrieved from one or several WIS based on AWS, using two processes: the matching process from AWS architecture and the
query routing process from PUMAS.
