Security Run the Java code in a secured environment (using proven Java mechanics; protects server) Only allow reading/writing the user’s own user model (any application can read all info) Only allow modifying within the own application June 6, 2011 ACM Hypertext 2011 Slide 10

Questions What adaptation to allow/disallow? Are the security precautions enough? Is it desirable to store this information on the web? How do we support group adaptation? What can we do to make authoring easier? Thanks! June 6, 2011 ACM Hypertext 2011 Slide 11
