Re: CC/PP Profile and UAProf

 
Hi Haitham,

 

I'm working also in the content negotiation and adaptation problem in heterogeneous environments, (i.e. in environments that include a wide diversity of devices not only WAP phones).

 

You can take a look on these two papers that discuss in a part: CC/PP and the content negotiation:

I think if your end users are in the form of WAP clients or devices that follow the WAP model, a UAProf profile will be very suitable for that. Otherwise you can use other profiling schemas that can meet your needs. I invite you to take a look on a basic schema that it was defined especially for the content negotiation and adaptation problem and for a wide range of devices:

The idea of defining such schema was to offer the possibility to create not only a CC/PP profile that describe the client capabilities and preferences but also other parameters that play a role in the content delivery such as :network, services, adaptation methods, etc.

 

I hope this will help,

 

best regards
