An XML-based context-aware transformation framework for mobile execution environments

Abstract

We propose an XML-based Context-Aware transformation Framework (X-CAF). In X-CAF, we design three main techniques - (1) an XML-based programming model to program applications, (2) a user interface adaptation mechanism to adjust UIs of applications, and (3) a transformation scheme to transform programs adapt to various MExE environments. Moreover, we design two methods, Static-time Component Generation and Runtime XUL Transformation for transforming efficiently and flexibility. Through applying these techniques, this framework may make applications device-independent.
