Mobile Fleet Application using Soap and System on Devices (SYD) Middleware Technologies

چکیده
This paper presents a fleet management application with heterogeneity of devices and data, database synchronization, group transactions, peer-to-peer computing, and mobility support. We simulate a delivery service's fleet of trucks with PCs and hand-held devices, and describe how the system works together. To send messages between devices, we use the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), allowing heterogeneous devices to communicate as peers. We examine current scenarios of our system, and discuss future enhancements. The adhoc nature of the solutions based on the existing technologies has led us to design a comprehensive middleware, namely, System on Devices (SyD), which we also describe briefly. SyD enables rapid development of collaborative applications, such as a fleet system, over heterogeneous, independent, data stores, devices, and wired and wireless networks, including those involving the web services.

Toward an Easy Programming Environment for Implementing Mobile Applications: A Fleet Application Case Study using SyD Middleware
This paper describes the advantages of SyD (System on Mobile Devices), a middleware technology for mobile devices and e-services, in terms of technology and programming. Features of SyD are illustrated here through our prototype application, a complex communication system for a trucking fleet that operates an automated package delivery system. The fleet system has been implemented in three ways...
متن کاملA methodology for engineering collaborative and ad-hoc mobile applications using SyD middleware
Today’s web applications are more collaborative and are using the standard and ubiquitous Internet protocols. We have earlier developed System on Mobile Devices (SyD) middleware to rapidly develop and deploy collaborative applications over heterogeneous and possibly mobile devices hosting web objects. In this paper, we present the software engineering methodology for developing SyD-enabled web ...
متن کاملSyD: A Middleware Testbed for Collaborative Applications over Small Heterogeneous Devices and Data Stores
Currently, it is possible to develop a collaborative application running on a collection of heterogeneous, possibly mobile, devices, each potentially hosting data stores, using existing middleware technologies such as JXTA, BREW, compact .NET and J2ME. However, they require too many ad-hoc techniques as well as cumbersome and time-consuming programming. Our System on Mobile Devices (SyD) middle...

متن کاملAn Agent Module for a System on Mobile Devices
A Middleware is the software that assists an application to interact or communicate with other applications, networks, hardware, and/or operating systems. We have earlier proposed an RMI-based middleware for mobile devices called System on Mobile Devices (SyD). A middleware on mobile devices is a challenging issue, as it has to deal with problems such as limited memory, frequent disconnections,...
