Delivery context-aware adaptative heterogeneous systems

Abstract

Currently the number of devices that have gained access to the Internet is large and diverse. Their different capabilities and characteristics, in addition to the different profiles and preferences of users, have generated a new goal: how to adapt the contents taking into account this heterogeneity, known as the ‘delivery context’. The concepts of adaptation and accessibility have been widely discussed and have resulted in many proposals, standards and techniques, making it necessary to refine the analysis of the issue to be considered in the process of adaptation. We present an overview of the various proposals and standards that have been presented in the area of heterogeneous systems, and the work of others from real-time interaction through agent-based platforms. All this work has been targeted to solve a common goal: the delivery context.
