Abstract
Reading the contents of Web page with a small-screen device, such as a PDA or cell-phone, is still far from being a pleasant experience. Owing to the device limitations, current mobile browsers cannot handle all HTML tags, such as tables, for instance. Thus, most mobile browsers provide a linearized version of the source HTML page, leading to a large amount of scrolling, not to mention the difficulty in finding the desired content. The main contribution of this work is to propose an architecture for adapting web page on small-screen devices. Among the features that our architecture offers, we can cite on-the-fly Web page adaptation and customization according to the user and device characteristics; text summarization; page blocks identification and content mapping to easy the task of locating user interests.
