Content aware selecting method for reducing the response time of an adaptive mobile Web service

Abstract

One of the particulars to be considered for effective servicing of wireless Internet to mobile terminal is the information of terminal environment. It is because time cost is required in producing mobile contents to suit environment of the connected terminal. In other words, in order to provide mobile web service by considering terminal characteristics, methods to minimize response time and server capacity in accordance with transcoding time in server are required. In this paper, response time to occur in the course of mobile web contents servicing was analyzed and, as a solution for this, Pre-Service method was introduced. Also, this paper suggests two methods in Pre-Service process for selecting optimize content in Cache. One is Device Profile Aware Selection using mobile device information. The other is Content Aware Selection using component information of requested content. Performance level of each method proposed was compared through experiment and the result of analysis was described. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
