Mobile hypermedia extends the concept of hypermedia. The user, carrying his mobile devices traverses not only the virtual space but also can receive information from the real-world places (physical nodes) that he visits during his detour.

Abstract
Building Mobile Hypermedia and Web Applications is hard because of the myriad of concerns that must be faced, such as those related to the specific application domain, and those typical of mobile software. During recent years, the authors have been researching modelling techniques for mobile hypermedia, and building infrastructure support for this and other kinds of mobile and context aware software. In this chapter, the authors review the modelling features, design mechanisms, and architectural support they have developed to simplify the development process, and to obtain more flexible models and applications.
