A Configurable Internet Browser for Unreliable Internet Connection

In this paper, we introduce a configurable Internet browser for accessing Internet using networks with low-quality connection. The goal is to build user-configurable Internet browser from existing software. We propose a new model for accessing Internet that allows a user to keep accessing the Internet even in very low speed and/or with temporary disconnection. In this model, we integrate concept of User-Oriented Quality of Service into Internet browser. The User-Oriented Quality of Service becomes a critical issue here, because the current model assumes a partial approach where access is constrained by the browser used to access the Internet. Furthermore, the browser fully controls the way access is performed, giving no opportunity for the user to specify alternative access arrangements. We therefore need a more flexible access model that allows a user to break the constraints.
