Conclusion

• adaptation is essential for mobile computing
  support
• model for flexible and automated adaptation
• general and uniform view onto the adaptation
  process
• configurable and reusable components
• outlook completion of the model, refinement of
  operations, validation with prototypes

7
Adaptation Model

• model defines abstract operations for adaptation
• input and output is abstract data container
• event independent and event driven operations
• properties for configuration
• combination to sequences
