Dynamic service composition for wireless Web access

Describes a Web proxy architecture called WebPADS, short for "Web Proxy for actively deployable services." The RebPADS was developed to enhance Web applications running on a wireless network. The RebPADS provides mechanisms to automatically locate and configure a flexible and adaptive wireless Web proxy. In addition, it provides a framework that facilitates the development of add-on services, where the services can be actively deployed and migrated across Web proxies, in order to adapt to the changing wireless environment.
