Using Web Services from Mobile Devices. Software Application for Academic Environment
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2008, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
In our paper we depict two modes of accessing Web services from mobile devices. These modalities correspond to different types of mobile devices, and, as a consequence, we use adapted client modules for each type. The software application depicted in our paper represents an easy way for informing of the members of an academic environment. It offers the possibility of an easy adaptation of user interface, so as to access the information faster, in concordance with user profile and his context. The architecture of this information system includes a common support at data level and at application level, on the server, but, at the client level, we developed distinct software components: for PocketPC mobile devices, which use Microsoft .NET Compact Edition, and, on the other part, for mobile phones incorporating Java 2 Platform Micro Edition.
