Abstract

With the Web 2.0 trend and its participation of end-users more and more data and information services are online accessible, such as web sites, Wikis, or web services. The integration of this plethora of information is taken over by the community: so-called Mashups---web applications that combine data from more than one source into an integrated service---spring up like mushrooms, because they can be easily realized using script languages and web development platforms. Another trend is that mobile devices that get more and more powerful have ubiquitous access to the Web. Local sensors (such as GPS) can easily be connected to these devices. Thus, mobile applications can adapt to the current situation of the user, which can change frequently because of his or her mobility. In this demonstration, we present the Telar Mashup platform, a client-server solution that facilitates the creation of adaptive Mashups for mobile devices such as the Nokia Internet Tablets. On the server side, wrappers allow the integration of data from web-based services. On the client side, a simple implementation of the DCCI specification is used to integrate context information of local sensors into the mobile Web browser, which adapts the Mashup to the user's current location. We show an adaptive, mobile Mashup on the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet.
