Context-aware adaptation in mobile environments

In recent years, computing is moving toward pervasive, ubiquitous environments, in which a variety of devices, software agents, and services are expected to seamlessly integrate and cooperate with each other to deliver appropriate content and services of users' interest without time and location constraints. The unique features of wireless network and mobile devices, however, present a number of critical challenges for taking advantage of the convenience of mobile devices and enabling Web access. For example, small screen size and limited memory of mobile devices pose challenges on presenting Web pages effectively, while low-bandwidth wireless networks force information systems to adapt content to the dynamically changing network environment.

Research questions: e.g., What are the contextual factors that can be used for content adaptation in a wireless environment? How to present content
on mobile devices more effectively?
