An important aspect in this issue is how documents can be customized context-sensitively. This paper addresses the document customization with the environmental context, and describes how we can provide the adaptive presentation for HTML documents. We developed the Persona system, which is a framework allowing to mine an appropriate document presentation in a given context. It inspects the client-side environment information and generates a presentation suited to the environment.
Persona makes it easy to process and distribute web documents on the fly.
Note that the latter one cuts some descriptions from the former one due to the limit of space. This paper addresses this demand and proposes an agent-mediated solution. Our system named Persona can provide an appropriate presentation for different users or user groups on the fly. We also experimented an application to support the distributed software development using Persona. Agents make it easy to dynamically process documents and distribute them.
