Abstract
As personalization and device independence become prominent issues inWeb development, tools to adapt existingWeb Information Systems (WISs) are required. Still, current development approaches lack support for adding adaptation to existing WISs. This paper presents the Generic Adaptation Component (GAC), a transcoding tool for making
Web applications adaptable and adaptive. It can be seamlessly integrated into existingWeb architectures as an autonomous adaptation and personalization
module. For configuring the GAC an RDF-based rule language is presented, allowing to define both content adaptation and context data update rules. Moreover, based on the document generation architecture of the AMACONT project a collection of transformation operations is provided to realize these rules. The main functionality of the GAC is
elucidated by an example implementation.
