Abstract
The mobile environment sets new requirements for contents, browsers,
and visualization. The capabilities and properties of mobile devices as well
as networks vary a lot. As well as the browsing content, also, mobile
browsers should be adaptable for specific users, use-contexts, and services
to provide reasonable user experience. Because mobile usage is more
spontaneous browsers need to be fast to download, install, and start. We
describe a MIMEFrame framework that defines core parts for mobile user agents
and browsers and presents how adaptation tasks can dynamically compose
browsers of the MIMEFrame components. In addition, we introduce a SKINS
model that offers fine-grained methods for composing context- and
content-driven presentations for (e.g. XML) contents and user interfaces
described with element trees. We made Java implementations for these
techniques that offer both core interfaces and a platform for adaptable
mobile user agent and browser implementations that can illustrate various
types of content and offer multimodal controls for browsing.
