Abstract—The proliferation of wireless technologies along with "anytime/anywhere" paradigm requires new scenarios for service provisioning. A user is often surrounded by different mobile devices, are often equipped with different network interfaces, which might be of different access technologies. The user tend to switch devices based on his requirement, hence switching of devices depending upon the content, capabilities of devices and context of the user are to be taken into consideration. The content to be provided must be compatible with the user device while capabilities of the device are to be monitored according to the application requirements, and network connections should be placed on the best possible interface based on these requirements along with context of the user. In this paper, we present an Agent based Device Adaptability in Ubiquitous Environment (ADAUbiE) which takes content, resources of device and context of the user into consideration to carry out device adaptability.

Index Terms—Content, context, device adaptability, resources, ubiquitous computing, wireless networks.
