This paper presents Arcademis, a Java-based framework for middleware development. Arcademis consists of a set of abstract classes and interfaces that define the general architecture of middleware systems. The main objective of Arcademis is to support the implementation of non-monolithic and easily reconfigurable middleware. In order to illustrate the use of the framework, the paper also describ...

Visually impaired people have difficulties in identifying currency. They rely on the size and features of the currency which can result in wrong identification. This project aims to develop a mobile application targeted towards them. The application will be able to recognize Indian currency and determine the denominations. Specifications Platform : J2ME (Java Micro Edition) MIDP 2.0 and CLDC 1....

A music browser MobileSOM with a new intuitive user interface designed for mobile devices with a built-in touch screen is presented. Music titles can be browsed, previewed and added to playlists picked from a Self-Organizing Map (SOM), on which similar pieces of music are grouped together. The songs from the created and editable playlists can be played on mobiles or streamed to an external play...

3APL-M is a platform for building deliberative multi-agent systems whose components execute on handheld and embedded computational devices. The solution takes advantage of the 3APL language and definitions, delivers a methodology for building Belief-Desire-Intention inference systems and provides an interface to integrate the applications to the external world. The library is distributed for th...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) and mobile technologies enable the integration between face-to-face and virtual communities, allowing users to experiment new models of learning and to contextualize them to their physical space or time. In this work we describe our view of a P2P e-learning community (PEC), and propose a taxonomy for context-aware e-learning services. Moreover, we illustrate how P2P mechanism...

Product lines promise to improve software quality and development productivity. A central issue to meet this is systematically dealing with variations within products in a certain domain. Although various techniques are available, their use is constrained by the specific application domain. This paper presents an extractive method for handling variation in the mobile device application domain. ...

This paper describes an effective approach to Java execution through the use of embedded processors. A pair of hardware engine and software kernel are devised for existing embedded systems in order to execute Java applications efficiently, in such a way that 39 instructions are added to the original JVM dedicatedly for the software kernel implementation. The whole embedded system including the ...

This paper briefly presents an architectural pattern, Adaptability Aspects, for structuring adaptive applications using Aspect-Oriented programming in a specific way. We also evaluate the applicability of this pattern for resource constrained devices. The Adaptability Aspects pattern is intended to improve modularity and reuse when adaptability is required. By providing three versions of the sa...

WiCoM enables remote management of web resources. Our application Mobile reporter is aimed at Journalist, who will be able to capture the events in real-time using their mobile phones and update their web server on the latest event. WiCoM has been developed using J2ME technology on the client-side and PHP on the server–side. The communication between the client and the server is established thr...
