Abstract :
The proliferation of mobile devices in wireless environments has put special requirements on the ability to access the Web seamlessly. To address the impact of varying contextual characteristics on mobile access, the authors developed the WebPADS framework, which can actively deploy new mobile services. Moreover, WebPADS can dynamically reconfigure its services and migrate them to adapt to the vigorous changes in the wireless environment.
