Abstract

In this paper, we describe how PUMAS, a framework based on Ubiquitous Agents for accessing Web Information Systems (WIS) through Mobile Devices (MD),can help to provide nomadic users with adapted information. Using PUMAS, the information delivered to a nomadic user is adapted according to, on the one hand, her/his preferences, intentions and history in the system and, on the other hand, the limited capacities of her/his MD. The adaptation performed by PUMAS relies on pieces of knowledge (we call “facts”), which are stored in Knowledge Bases managed by PUMAS agents. We focus here on the facts exploited to achieve adaptation by two of the four Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) that constitute the architecture of PUMAS (the Information and the Adaptation MAS). We also present an example which illustrates how PUMAS works and considers these facts when processing a query.
