A common trend in modern applications is the move towards more mobile, adaptive, customisable software. The evolution of software from static, invariant tools for narrow portions of a task to adaptive, open interaction frameworks is embodied in the use of a variety of technologies for creating a reconfigurable application. Perhaps the two most important techniques are Adaptive architectures and Ubiquitious Computing. However, many techniques employed merging these two technologies to form the

This paper presents a new, semantic interopration-based approach to creating context-informed adaptive applications that make maximum use of the rich content that can be found in both technologies.
