Mobile and wireless technologies (MWTs), such as wireless laptop computers, personal digital assistants (PDA), mobile phones, smart phones, etc., have deeply penetrated our lives. Government agencies use MWTs to enhance their managerial effectiveness and provide high-level services to citizens taking advantage of its characteristics of mobility, ubiquity, provision of other location-based gover...

This paper is written as part of the European Commission’s Leonardo Da Vinci project "Mobile Learning: The Next Generation of Learning" in collaboration between three of the project partners. The paper profiles three separate research areas undertaken by the partners addressing trends and practice of integrating new media and ICT applications in education. The future is wireless. The project pr...

Making mobile phones capable of consuming Web services over wireless networks is a challenging task because of the different issues to be addressed and the limited resources of mobile devices. In this paper, we focus on the issue of how to perform dynamic discovery and invocation of Web services from mobile phones when a J2ME wireless middleware is used. In order to solve the limitations of the...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) belongs to a new trend in technology in which tiny and resource constrained devices are wirelessly interconnected and are able to interact with the surrounding environment by collecting data such as temperature and humidity. Recently, due to the huge growth in the use of mobile devices with Internet connection, smart phones are becoming the center of future ubiqu...

Inherent limitations of mobile computing environment such as limited bandwidth, limited resourced mobile phones, and instability of wireless environment require summarized mobile database at mobile phones. Therefore the critical database summarization is done through an adoptive model incorporating object accessibility pattern in database queries by making optimal use of exponentially weighted ...

Background: Distracted walking is a major cause of pedestrian fatalities. Along with the expansion and popularity of mobile phones, their impacts on pedestrian safety, especially when crossing urban intersections have attracted a lot of attention. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of mobile-phone use on pedestrians’ crossing behavior when passing signalized intersections. Ma...

Background: The use of mobile phone by children is increasing drastically. Children are likely to accumulate many years of exposure during their lives. Furthermore, as nervous systems in children are developing, children may be at a greater risk compared to adults. In this light, some scientists have suggested that the use of mobile phones should be restricted in high-risk groups such as childr...

There is an increase use of wireless technologies in education all over the world. In fact, wireless technologies such as laptop computers, palmtop computers, and mobile phones are revolutionizing education and transforming the traditional classroom based learning and teaching into anytime and anywhere education. This paper is about using the SMS messaging services of mobile phones for learning...

The area of wireless sensor network is wide & there are various kinds of sensor devices are used in mobile applications. Sensors monitor the environmental activities like air pollution, noise level, water level, greenhouse monitoring, agriculture monitor etc which grows & generates greater interest & becomes a challenge for finding out the graph or curves for the large amount of data sets. In t...
