    At the time of advent of Internet and its success very limited devices had access to the Internet. Desktop computers were the primary source to browse through web pages. Since then, website developers and designers central efforts were desktop oriented until recently, when market was dominated by small devices. The number of users accessing Internet through these small devices will surpass those using desktop computers to access Internet by 2014. The web pages primarily designed for large screen had problems on small screens like too small font, horizontal scrolling, excess of contents, small images, large page sizes etc. Many firms have made a separate version of their site for mobile devices. Making a separate version of the website spawns new array of problems. Despite that millions of web pages primarily developed for desktop users in mind, still have these problems. In order to overcome these issues we propose an auto-response user interface for web fronts. Such an interface is context aware and adapts components of interface to the needs of device on which it lands. Components of interface consist of images, fonts, layouts and grids. In case of slow internet speed, interface minimizes bandwidth consuming factors by removing image based Ads, flash based Ads, changing the size of the image, blocking JavaScript, filtering important segments of the webpages etc. Implementation is carried out and tested against the common issues giving satisfactory initial results. The implementation is based on the algorithm which obtains the DOM tree from HTML stream and divides that tree into segments for filtering and important blocks determination.

    (Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Islamic University of Technology (IUT), Board Bazar, Gazipur-1704, Bangladesh, 2012-11-15) Mubarak, Hamisi Ramadhan; Ismail, Muhammad; Algabal, Yousef Ali
    The advent of Internet has brought a whole new array of application in our lives. It is changing the way we live, communicate, buy or sell, seek knowledge and entertain. Today we see hundreds of universities across the globe providing education in various fields with people attending real, physical classes. We take this very idea of higher education and gear it by the power of Internet to convey distance education without putting limitation of time and place on people. We call this internet based system of education Virtual University System. People around the globe, who satisfy the basic requirements, can apply for admission in different graduation programs, take virtual lectures, do real assignments, take quizzes and sit for real examination. On the other side of the picture, teacher spent real time to prepare lectures, assess students and prepare examination questions. Though virtual university system is not a replacement of the traditional brick-and-mortar universities, it is just a variant of the former using different set of tools and approach to education.
