Abstract

Web services have been widely accepted as a platform independent services-oriented technology. Meanwhile, ubiquitous technologies are becoming popular in a variety of domain applications. In particular, hosting web services from mobile devices became a way to extend knowledge exchange and share. This paper presents our design and implementation of a mobile web service (MWS) middleware motivated by a mobile application that assists observers in the surveillance and diagnosis of animal diseases in the field. We also present a performance study of hosting web services on mobile devices by evaluating the MWS. Based on our observations, a performance model is used to predict the performance of a class of MWS-based applications.
