Retargeting Web pages to other computing platforms with VAQUITA

open access: yesNinth Working Conference on Reverse Engineering, 2002. Proceedings., 2003
Mobile platforms are becoming an increasingly important alternative for accessing Web pages. Many Web pages are not suited to these platforms and need to be adapted, or rewritten from scratch. Adaptation can be carried out in two ways: either by dynamic conversion or static reengineering. VAQUITA belongs to the second category by applying a model-based
