Abstract
In this paper, we describe how PUMAS, a framework based on Ubiquitous Agents for accessing Web Information Systems (WIS) through Mobile Devices (MD) can help to provide nomadic users with relevant and adapted information. Using PUMAS, the information delivered to a nomadic user (whose location changes) is adapted according to, on the one hand, her/his preferences, intentions and history in the system and, on the other hand, the limited capacities of her/his MD. We describe the extension we propose for handling adaptation in PUMAS. We also describe different scenarios which illustrate the way PUMAS works, especially when a query is processed.
