On design of adaptation server for heterogeneity terminals

The heterogeneity in the communicating terminals needs to be handled through software-supported adaptation. The main consideration of real-time adaptation system is flexibility and efficiency. In this paper we give several new or improved techniques useful for increasing the processing efficiency of the whole system. First we put forward the idea of parameter transform and suggest the method of parameter encoding. We also give two practical methods dealing with long pages and images. Then, as a new concept XML pretranslation is suggested. At last we make a discussion about the consideration of cache management. All these techniques greatly contribute to the system processing efficiency.
