Abstract
The goal of this work is the design of an environment for supporting run time migration of Web applications among different platforms. This allows users interacting with a Web application to change device and continue their interaction from the same point. The migration takes into account the runtime state of the interactive application and the different features of the devices involved. We consider Web applications developed through a multiple-level approach using: the definition of the tasks to support, the abstract description of the user interface, and the actual code. The runtime migration engine exploits information regarding the application runtime state and higher level information on the available target platforms. Runtime application data are used to achieve interaction continuity, while information on the different platform types involved are deployed to adapt the application’s appearance and behaviour to the specific device.
