Sébastien Ardon, Per Gunningberg, Björn Landfeldt, Yuri Ismailov, Marius Portmann, Aruna Prasad Seneviratne · 2001
We present a novel proxy architecture which provides a middleware solution for adapting Internet Content and its transmission to client and network characteristic variations. We present details of the Mobile Aware Server Architecture (MARCH), a framework for automatic session customization and proxy deployment which operates on top of the current Internet. Our framework diers from earlier work in that it is server-centric, i.e. the decisions as to what adaptations to perform and how to perform them are made under the content server administration authority. The framework is particulary designed for the current client/server model, in particular, it does not cater for interpersonal communication applications. 1
