Abstract

There are still many web sites that are unaware of mobile presentation and, when accessed from handheld devices, offer a poor user experience. In this paper we present both an adaptive content crawling and a ranking method that enable to measure the suitability of a web page against a target device and web browser. Our proposed techniques could be used by context-aware mobile web search engines, ranking pages not only from the textual relevancy point of view, but also from its adaptability to the delivery context. Our experimental results reveal high accuracy for the devised method.
