Adaptation of web pages to needs of a specific user is today’s trend of web technologies. The web adaptation and personalization problem, thus modification of web documents in sense of respecting needs and possibilities of a concrete user, could be solved by constructing and maintaining of a user predictive model, which provides predictions of the next user’s step in his communication with the ...

Adaptation in eLearning has been an important research topic for the last few decades in computerbased education. In adaptivity the behaviour of the user triggers some actions in the system that guides the learning process. In adaptability, the user makes changes and takes decisions. Progressing from Computer Based Training and Adaptive Hypermedia Systems, adaptation in eLearning today involves...

Climate change and its effects have become a major developmental challenge of Africa in the millennium. The problem of environmental degradation and decreased agricultural production are some of its major effects. The study was , therefore ,conducted to evaluate the extent of adoption of climate change adaptation technologies by farmers in Obudu Agricultural zone of Cross River State. In conduc...

Technologies can help strengthen the resilience of our economy against existential climate-risks. We investigate climate change adaptation technologies (CCATs) in US patents to understand (1) historical patterns and possible drivers innovation; (2) scientific technological requirements develop use CCATs; (3) CCATs’ potential synergies with mitigation. First, contrast mitigation, innovation CCAT...

The huge amount of multimedia content and the variety of terminals and networks make video summarization and video adaptation two key technologies to provide e ective access and browsing. With scalable video coding, the adaptation of video to heterogeneous terminals and networks can be e ciently achieved using together a layered coding hierarchy and bitstream extraction. On the other hand, many...

The continuous increase of multimedia content on the Web and different device types that have access to this content, demands for an extensible approach to media adaptation. To deliver highly adapted content to a specific device, a flexible engine will need to understand the device’s constraints and adapt accordingly. In this paper, such an adaptation framework relying on Semantic Web and AI pl...
