Abstract

Over the last few years, the rapid growth of the world wide web itself and the increment of the amount of data it facilitates is amazing. Concurrently, along with the world wide web, rapid development is held in the area of the devices that are accessing the web. The technology used by such devices is improved and their variety is getting larger. Despite of their high technology they have limited capabilities when compared to the classic desktop personal computers. Their main weaknesses are the low bandwidth network that they usually use to connect to the Internet and the small screen size that is incapable of presenting many of the current available data. In order for such a device connected to the Web to be served in a reasonable amount of time, with content that can be appropriately handled by that device, many techniques and methods have been proposed. One of these techniques used is caching technology in proxies. Caching in conjunction with Prefetching reduces the latency of the data transfers. Another technique, that has been proposed lately, is the minimization of the information transferred through the Web, by removing all the unnecessary information. This method in collaboration with our approach of the URL substitution in an HTML file, can have satisfactory performance. There is also the method of data transcoding in a variety of formats depending on the capabilities of the device that requested the data. In order for the data transcoding and other methods to be applied efficiently for each device used, Web content providers need extra information. This information will supply to the servers a brief description of the characteristics of each device, and the kind of the network used. This kind of information can be transferred in the Web through
