MAIS Reference Model Requirements

This report presents the requirements for the MAIS (Multichannel Adaptive Information Systems) reference model. In particular, it is composed by the following models: the architectural model, to describe device components used to access services, the behavior of each component and how they interact with each other; the functional model, to describe the services and related contents, according to the double perspective of who provides and who requires them; the context model, for the description of the context in which the services are required and used and the specification of users profiles; the channel model, to provide a description of a logical distribution channel, in terms of device, network, network interfaces and application protocols used to access the services. UML is used to describe the models and the MOF repository to store and manage them.
