Engineering JavaScript state persistence of web applications migrating across multiple devices

Ubiquitous environments call for user interfaces able to migrate across various types of devices while preserving task continuity. One fundamental issue in migratory user interfaces is how to preserve the state while moving from one device to another. In this paper we present a solution for the interactive part of Web applications. In particular, we focus on the most problematic part, which is maintaining the JavaScript state. We also describe an example application to illustrate the support provided by our migration platform.
