In the current era, the wireless cellular network is gaining much attention in the network mobility for qualitative service. Towards enhancing the QoS and narrowing the dilemma of network management (location management) an efficient metric-based location management technique is introduced in this paper to capture the current location of mobile subscribers. The attributes of this technique are ...

Fadip is a Publish/Subscribe system for Mobile Ad hoc Networks which uses probabilistic routing of messages to deal with the volatile nature of the network. It uses controlled propagation of publications and subscriptions, with the fading gossip technique to reduce the number of broadcasts. We present a probabilistic logic program in ProbLog that models Fadip. This allows us to calculate the pr...

This research aims to examine the key success factors for the diffusion of mobile entertainment services in Malaysia. The drivers and barriers observed in this research include perceived benefit; concerns pertaining to pricing, product and technological standardization, privacy and security; as well as influences from peers and community. An analysis of a Malaysian survey of 384 respondents bet...

To succeed commercially, the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), a protocol for the delivery of Internet-like services for mobile phones, had to dominate the market for mobile electronic commerce, but a security hole made it unsuitable for e-commerce transactions. The security hole was a byproduct of the so-called WAP-gateway. Mobile service providers offering WAP to their subscribers were sup...

This chapter focuses on programming abstractions for mobile computing (Mascolo, Capra, & Emmerich, 2002), a research domain that studies Weiser’s vision of ubiquitous computing (Weiser, 1991) from a distributed systems’ perspective. Mobile computing applications are deployed on mobile devices (e.g. cellular phones, PDAs, ...) equipped with wireless communication technology (e.g. WiFi, Bluetooth...

One of the promising multimedia services is the mobile pay-TV service. Due to its wireless nature, mobile pay-TV is vulnerable to attacks especially during hand-off. In 2011, an efficient anonymous authentication protocol for mobile pay-TV is proposed. The authors claim that their scheme provides an anonymous authentication to users by preventing intruders from obtaining users’ IDs during the m...

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) uses extensive markup language (XML) to constantly scan the content of Web sites for updates, which will then be delivered to subscribers' desktops or mobile devices through an RSS feed. RSS helps professionals stay current while reducing workloads. Librarians need to get familiar with RSS to educate their users, to stay current in information technology, and to ...
