04.06.2004

Abstract

As Mark Weiser's vision of a ubiquitous computing environment is becoming evident, a flexible mechanism for personalization of Internet services is needed.

Towards this end, this thesis investigates a configuration frontend for highly personalized network applications. Using our prototype system, novice Internet users can compose highly personalized applications from a set of independent services. Users achieve high value without doing explicit programming.
