A component-based framework for the internet content adaptation domain

Abstract

Small mobile devices for accessing the Internet through wireless access networks have become increasingly common in recent years. In this new context, a major challenge is the adaptation of content to these devices, satisfying their capabilities and user preferences and optimizing the use of wireless access networks. This paper therefore presents a framework based on component reuse for the development of applications for Internet content adaptations.

Content Adaptation in Ubiquitous Computing

“…This enabled the tested pages to be cloned, restricting the data flow to the computers involved in the case study. The software described in (Forte et al, 2007) was employed for the content adaptation proxy implementation, with the addition of specific CCFS profiles and rules, and was installed on the Linux platform. was blocked due to a restricted keyword.…”

“…(Marques & Loureiro, 2004) presents an adaptation architecture specifically designed for mobile devices, which offers image, audio, and text compression adaptations, and uses access network information to decide the best adaptation to be carried out. Unlike the aforementioned works, we developed the Internet Content Adaptation Framework (ICAF) (Forte et al, 2007), an extremely flexible framework thanks to the reuse of its components. Moreover, this framework contains an adaptation policy based on the user, device and SLA profiles, and based on the access network and content information.…”

Using ontologies and Web services for content adaptation in Ubiquitous Computing

“…In response to this challenge, we propose the use of ontologies and Web services in Ubiquitous Computing to facilitate software development and reuse. To this end, the Internet Content Adaptation Framework (ICAF) (Forte et al, 2007) was extended to allow for the use of ontologies and Web services in the development of applications for the content adaptation domain. In this extension, existing components were reused and adapted and new components were introduced, thus broadening the range of applications that can be developed from the Extended Internet Content Adaptation Framework (EICAF).…”
