Abstract

Hypermedia has matured to XML-based specifications and Java/ Flash software componentry. In this contribution we extend known adaptation methods and techniques to software programs and classify them by component type. We consider adaptation of internal multimedia structures, graphics elements, interactions, and included algorithms. Methods are illustrated with a prototype system that implements matching, component-based adaptation techniques. It is available for free and includes an XML authoring schema, an adaptation layer for third-party Java applets, and a server-side adaptation engine.
