Using ontologies and Web services for content adaptation in Ubiquitous Computing

The diversity of small mobile devices and networks enabling users to access the Internet expands every day. In this highly dynamic environment of Ubiquitous Computing, current programming paradigms do not offer the flexibility needed for software reuse. To improve this flexibility, this paper proposes the use of ontologies and Web services, within a framework of components for the content adaptation domain, to facilitate the development of software based on reuse. A case study illustrates the use of the proposed solution.
