Abstract: Unique features of handheld devices, including their mobility, personalization and location-awareness engender new types of applications for mobile commerce, such as mobile advertising. Mobile marketing and advertising applications deliver promotional information to consumers based on their preferences and location. In this paper, we present SMMART, a context-aware, adaptive and personalized m-commerce application designed to deliver targeted promotions to the users of mobile devices about the products they like while guarding the users’ identity and protecting them from any unsolicited messages. Promotions distributed by SMMART are personalized by performing intelligent matching of the user’s shopping interests to current promotions available at a retail site. SMMART can adapt to changing preferences of its user by inconspicuously monitoring his or her shopping habits. We describe a fully functional prototype of SMMART built for Pocket PCs running Windows CE with .NET Compact Framework. This paper also presents a study demonstrating end-user usability and economic viability of SMMART.

Abstract: The main area of interest of our project is to provide solution which can be used in different areas of health care and which will be available through PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), web browsers or desktop clients. The realized system deals with an ECG sensor connected to mobile equipment, such as PDA/Embedded, based on Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system. The whole system is based on the architecture of .NET Compact Framework, and Microsoft SQL Server. Visualization possibilities of web interface and ECG data are also discussed and final suggestion is made to Microsoft Silverlight solution along with current screenshot representation of implemented solution. The project was successfully tested in real environment in cryogenic room (-136OC).

Abstract: Our project deal with the system development of personal sources in area of home care agencies. System consists of the three main parts - PC application, mobile application and database server. All these parts are built on Microsoft .NET solution namely on performances .NET Framework 3.5 and MS SQL server 2008, .NET Compact Framework 3.5 and MS SQL server 3.5 Compact Edition. System works offline, whereas synchronization mobile arrangement with data in database is made only in agency by the help of technology USB, Bluetooth or WiFi. However the system has also the possibility to work in the online mode, allows the interviewing on database by the use of the web services. Software layer synchronization administration data is based on technologies ADO .NET and Linq. System will further develop and will base for advancement biomedical science research framework.

Abstract: Praise for Writing Mobile Code"This book will be your new bible for the rapidly developing world of mobile computing. From design to performance, the information you need to be successful is here."-Doug Ellis, Area Technical Manager, Cognos Corporation"In the often resource-constrained world of mobile device development, solid software engineering practices are essential to success. Ivo's book, with its emphasis on code performance, is refreshing and timelymdand it delivers!"-Bill Draper, Director of Software Development, MICROS Systems, Inc."To write mobile, you need to think mobile. This book is a big first step in getting your head into the right gear."-Jon Skeet, Independent Software Engineer"Writing Mobile Code is an indispensable resource for any programmer, whether or not you are writing mobile code. That's because Salmre not only teaches you how to program mobile devices, he also teaches you how to be a good programmer. Salmre's writing is easy to follow and has real-world application. He teaches the novice how to develop robust applications with the user in mind, and he reminds us veterans that keeping things simple is very important. I am recommending this book to my peers and anyone who needs to write a program."-Michael Maitland, Sr. Systems Architect, Target Systems"A great reference and learning tool that covers all the main issues for software engineering on mobile devices, this is an essential book for anyone who is developing software on mobile platforms. Designing software on a mobile device has a lot of unique challenges; this book walks the developer through all of them."-Mark Gilbert, Software Designer, Microsoft Corporation"In this book, Ivo Salmre leverages his experience as a designer of the .Net Compact Framework and teaches us how to develop effective mobile applications. It covers the entire process of designing and developing mobile applications with a focus on performance optimization. Although the examples in this book are given in C# and Visual Basic languages, it would prove useful to mobile developers of all platforms. I highly recommend it."-Michael Yuan, PhD., Mobile Software Consultant"Just when you thought you knew how to write mobile code, this book makes you reconsider the things you took for granted. Salmre provides a balanced mix of software recipes and forays into the philosophy of mobile development that will help any mobile developer to write better apps."-Alex Feinman, Software Engineer, OpenNETCF.orgMobile computing devices have evolved from fixed-purpose communications tools to compelling and extensible mass-market computing platforms. Now, they stand poised to offer truly ubiquitous and mobile computing-and to revolutionize the way people work, communicate, and interact with the world around them.Writing Mobile Code is the first definitive guide to writing applications for the new generation of mobile devices. In this accessible, hands-on reference, readers will find the principles and methods of great mobile software design and real-world examples to support them. While the many examples use the .NET Compact Framework, C#, and Visual Basic .NET, the design and engineering concepts Salmre discusses apply to all mobile-computing technologies and platforms.Highlights include Performance considerations, including memory management, multithreading, XML, and graphics Designing the right user interface Establishing appropriate data-access and communications models Strategies for packaging and deploying your mobile applicationWhether you are new to designing mobile device software or a seasoned mobile-computing developer, this book will give you a deep understanding of what is unique and interesting about mobile development and how to build successful mobile applications.In short, Writing Mobile Code is destined to be the seminal guide to this growing field for years to come.© Copyright Pearson Education.
