The human vision system has adaptation mechanisms that cannot be managed with the classic tri-stimulus color theory. The effects of these mechanisms are clearly visible in some we...
We describe work in progress on tools and infrastructure to support adaptive component-based software for mobile devices— in our case, Apple iPhones. Our high level aim is ‘de...
