Assignment title: Information


Mobile Computing and Wireless Communications PART A (TECHNICAL OPTION): Mobile Application Prototype Download a commercial mobile development platform (WAP, JQuery Mobile) and install it on your computer. By using the development platform, develop a simple wireless application. This application should be able to do the following: • Show basic information about three favorite cities of your choice by using WML or JQuery-Mobile. Information can include city name, country, population, and 3 key areas of interest. Create the information in any format you want. You may use WAP development tools like Ericsson WapIDE, Nokia WAP Toolkit, WinWAP or any other tool of your choice. • Build a small Voicexml application for a sample movie theater information system. The application should have different "voice menus", where each menu aims at showing what movies (e.g., western, action, drama, foreign) are showing at the theater. You may use tellme.com, bevocal or another voicexml provider to do that. • Describe the technical architecture and the enabling technologies used by one of the modern mobile computing platforms such as iPhone. Blackberry, Android or something similar. Deliverable: demonstration of the prototypes (WAP and VoiceXML) and a presentation that discusses the key lessons learned (annotated viewgraph).
