Harnessing the Power of Semantics-Based, Aspect-Oriented Adaptation for amacont

Adaptivity in web applications raises several concerns. One demands it to be decoupled from the actual application and at the same time wants to use very domain-specific terms for dividing the audience into groups. Two current trends, aspect-oriented programming and semantic web technologies, fit these requirements like a glove. In this paper, we present the AMACONT web modeling framework and use it as an example of how to extend such a framework to make use of these powerful technologies. The underlying concepts, however, can be applied to the modeling of adaptivity in general.
