Abstract

There are critical distributed computing processing issues in mobile computing systems due to the characteristics of mobile devices. In this research, we have developed web applications using J2EE technologies to address these mobile computing issues. The rapid development of wireless digital communication technology has created capabilities that software systems can be developed for distributed client/server computing. The falling cost of both communication and mobile computing devices (tablet computers, pocket PC, etc.) is making wireless computing affordable to both business and consumers users. Mobile computing is not just a 'scaled-down' version of the established and well-studied field of distributed computing. The nature of wireless communication media and the mobility of computers combine to create fundamentally new problems in networking, operating systems, and information systems. Furthermore, many of the applications envisioned for mobile computing place novel demands on software systems. We have developed mobile distributed computing applications to study these challenge issues.
