Paper Abstract:
|
Multi-device provisioning of web-based services is a challenging problem for service providers because of the heterogeneity of their execution environment. To support this heterogeneity, services have to adapt to the varying capabilities of used devices, markup-languages, connectivity, user preferences and access context. In this paper we describe general adaptation mechanisms and propose a proxy-based adaptation framework which combines the advantages of manual and automated adaptation. The framework is based on a generic document description language (DDL) allowing the manual addition of semantic meta information at design time. This meta information is used to control the automated adaptation process at runtime. The framework supports the addition, removal and substitution of modular designed adaptation mechanisms.
