Toward an Easy Programming Environment for Implementing Mobile Applications: A Fleet Application Case Study using SyD Middleware
نویسندگان
چکیده
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, with SOAP, with JDBC, and with SyD. Our implementation experience shows that SyD greatly simplifies coding by allowing heterogeneous devices, peer-to-peer communications, group transactions based on triggering events, and mobility support through proxies and directory service.

A 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 ...

Future Web applications will be more collaborative, and will use the standard and ubiquitous Internet protocols. Independently developed applications will have to be integrated seamlessly despite their heterogeneous origins. Heterogeneity stems from programming languages, development environments, operating systems, and host devices. It can be addressed by providing means of composing (or reusi...

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), allowi...

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...
