Abstract

Current and upcoming WAP-capable mobile phones introduce new user interfaces where standard methods for application design often fail. Automated translation of HTML to WML produces screen layouts and input mechanisms that are often not useable on a mobile phone.In this paper we suggest a structured approach for building WAP application and in particular the development of the user interface. First we give a brief summary on the discriminating feature of a phone interface and on mechanisms to build applications on WAP devices. Then we provide guidelines on how to port from Web to WAP and how to develop WAP-Applications. We finally introduce the WAP application that led to our findings.
