  abstract =     "Mobile environments present particular
                 characteristics: portable information appliances are
                 resources-poor, wireless networks have a low and
                 variable bandwidth and environment resources change
                 according to movements. We propose an adaptive
                 distribution environment for applications in mobile
                 context. We have particularly developed the dynamic
                 adaptation functionality with an auto-adaptive entity
                 model (specialization of possible adaptations and
                 adaptation strategy) and the resources management and
                 applications distribution functionality with an
                 adaptive policy model implemented in five specific
                 services (resource management (local or global),
                 variations detection and notification, distribution,
                 adaptations propagation control). A prototype, AeDEn,
                 has confirmed the PIA resources savings and the
                 applications performances improvements.",
