Paper Abstract:
|
Modern Web systems that provide content to heterogeneous user groups using different devices have to
deal with varying context information to support context-awareness. Accomplishing this requirement
necessitates sensing, processing, and representing that information. Still, up to now there is a lack of
reusable solutions for efficient context management. Therefore, this paper presents a component-based
extensible framework for modeling context information that can be effectively used for adapting Web
applications. The framework allows for faster development and deployment of context-aware adaptive
Web applications and provides a set of modeling components supporting important application domains
such as location-based services, device independence, and personalization. To support the addition of
further context modeling techniques, it provides generic extension interfaces. Besides, this paper shows
how the framework can be utilized by existing Web systems and presents a novel adaptation mechanism
for Rich Media Web applications providing seamless integration of various complex multimedia formats. |
