Exposes the interrupted internet connectivity problem, applied to e-learning applications.
Proposes the creation of a modeling tool to create interruption resilient web applications, by defining the possible operations and how they should behave in case of interruption. This model is presented later in (cite [already in mendeley] A model-based approach for describing offline navigation of web applications). It presents the Offline Model, defining a taxonomy for interruptions on web applications. It further analyzes some properties of web applications in the presence of interruptions such as scheme and offline support, which depend on the application and the task being performed within it.

Despite the wide availability of Internet connections, situations of interruptedwork caused by accidental loss of connectivity or by intentional offlinework are very frequent. Concerned by the negative effects of interruptionsin users' activities, this work investigates a new approach for the design anddevelopment of Web applications resilient to interruptions applied to e-learningenvironments. In order to help users to recover from interruptions whilst navigatingWeb sites, this paper proposes a model-based approach that combinesexplicit representation of end-user navigation, local information storage (i.e.Web browser caching mechanism) and polices for client-side adaptation of Websites. With this model, we are able to provide users with information aboutwhich Web site's contents are available in an offline mode and how they canget easy access to local cache content. Moreover, the model can be also be usedto set proactive mechanism such as pre-caching Web pages that are likely to beseen by users. Such model-based approach is aimed to be used to build newWeb sites from scratch but it can also be used as a mapping support to describeoffline navigation of existing Web site. © Springer International Publishing 2013.
