To this aim, we defined a XML-like markup language (APML) in which the 'meanings' to be attached to every component of a sentence are specified
This research is made in cooperation with the Department of Education Sciences, University of Roma 3 and the Department of Computer and System Sciences, University of Roma 'La Sapienza'.
User Adaptation in Mobile Computing

This means that request, negotiation and presentation of results has to be customized not only to the user but also to other features related to the context; for instance: users
