Abstract:
Digital contents are often designed having desktop applications as target in mind. As MobileWeb is becoming a common means to access internet services, there is a need for adapting content to smaller displays of mobile devices. Adaptation of web pages should be in accordance with aesthetics and usability requirements. In this paper we propose a tool, based on genetic algorithm, able to assist designers in delivering content adapted to mobile devices. In particular the tool, starting from a given page, searches for alternative layouts in order to
best fit the content to reduced target screen size. The result is a set of adapted web pages. Experimental results show this approach is feasible and can compete with design made by humans.
