Mobile Information Systems - Infrastructure and Design for Adaptivity and Flexibility
This book presents a framework for mobile information systems, focusing on quality of service and adaptability at all architectural levels. These levels range from adaptive applications to e-services, middleware, and infrastructural elements, as developed in the 'Multichannel Adaptive Information Systems' (MAIS) project. The design models, methods, and tools developed in the project allow the realization of adaptive mobile information systems in a variety of different architectures.
