Restrictions regarding navigability and user-friendliness are the main challenges the Mobile Web faces to be accepted worldwide. W3C has recently developed the Mobile Web Initiative (MWI), a set of directives for the suitable design and presentation of mobile Web interfaces. This article presents the main features and functional modules of OneWeb, an MWI-based Web content adaptation platform developed by Mobile Devices Applications Development Interest Group’s (W@PColombia) research activities, forming part of the Universidad de Cauca’s Telematics Engineering Group. Some performance measurement results and comparison with other Web content adaptation platforms are presented. Tests have shown suitable response times for Mobile Web environments; MWI guidelines were applied to over twenty Web pages selected for testing purposes.
Las limitaciones con respecto a la experiencia de navegabilidad y facilidad de uso constituyen los principales obstáculos que enfrenta la web móvil para lograr una amplia aceptación mundial. Recientemente el W3C ha desarrollado una iniciativa conocida como Mobile Web Initiative (MWI), la cual define un conjunto de directrices para el diseño y presentación adecuada de interfaces web dirigidas a dispositivos móviles. El presente artículo describe las principales características y los módulos funcionales de OneWeb, una plataforma de adaptación de contenidos basada en las recomendaciones de MWI, desarrollada por el Grupo de Interés en el Desarrollo de Aplicaciones Móviles para Dispositivos Móviles - W@PColombia, adscrito al Grupo de Ingeniería Telemática de la Universidad del Cauca. Adicionalmente se presentan medidas de rendimiento y una comparación con sistemas de adaptación de contenido que operan actualmente. De manera experimental se obtuvieron tiempos de respuesta satisfactorios para entornos web móviles y se logró el cumplimiento de las recomendaciones de MWI sobre un conjunto de veinte páginas de prueba.
