Riassunto

Developing Services for the Wireless Internet offers state-of-the-art technological knowledge and practical know-how to practitioners – project managers, software architects and designers, process engineers and quality assurance workers. The book supports the developers of services and applications for mobile phones, PDAs and smart phones. This new emerging domain is characterized by a very fast pace of change in the underlying technology, exposing products and applications to a constant risk of obsolescence. The relative youth of this field means that knowledge is comparatively limited. The book identifies an approach to mitigate the above risks by focusing on: The development process, the underlying technology and its effects on connectivity, and software architectures. It provides an essential tool kit for all working in this field.

From the reviews:

"The book takes upon itself a fascinating and challenging task, that is, to describe the exigencies and difficulties involved in developing this type of system, and the specific technical and management areas that need to be evaluated and adapted to achieve this goal. ... I would recommend this book for an academic library ... . It is clear that this book has value to the practitioner ... ." (Mordechal Ben-Menachem, Computing Reviews, December, 2006)

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Accessing Internet services and applications through mobile wireless devices is already a reality for some people, and is just around the corner for most others. However, the success of the wireless Internet has to be fuelled by the availability of wireless-specific data services and applications in order to fully exploit its business potential and to provide actual return on investment.

This book is for developers of wireless Internet services. It addresses the technical issues that can get in the way of the production of a successful service: variability of terminals, unstable technology, incomplete testing environment, variable bandwidth and quality of service. Useful techniques and methods when handing these issues are proposed using two case studies: a mobile game and a mobile trading service.
