An ambient environment encompasses a wide variety of devices, various technologies and context of use to provide the users an environment that makes them feel comfortable and best suits to their needs. Although the Web-enabled mobile devices used in such an environment might vary in their capabilities, they would always be a good candidate for interaction with different applications in an ambient environment. We describe our framework for designing web applications based on context-of-device used where both the device capabilities and environmental changes are taken into consideration to design the user interface for specific devices. Our framework enables the web interface to be tailored on the devices based on their supporting capabilities and hence giving different presentation views to interact with the same application.
