Wireless Java

A solid introduction to working with the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP), which contains the APIs designed specifically for writing applications that need to run on wireless and embedded devices. It includes reference material on the core and javax.microedition classes, as well as on the classes specific to the various wireless platforms the J2ME supports.

Covers the Mobile Information Device Profile 2.0 and its security features and user interface, discusses the media and game APIs, and explores performance tuning and cryptography.

"Cuts through the hype! Golding's compelling offers visionary, but practical insights. A "must have" reference treatment for all practitioners in the mobile innovation space." —Jag Minhas, Telefónica O2 Europe Second edition of this best-selling guide to Wireless Applications: fully revised, updated and with brand new material! In Next Generation Wireless Applications, Second Edition, the author establishes a picture of the entire mobile application ecosystem, and explains how it all fits together. This edition builds upon the successes of the first edition by offering an up-to-date holistic guide to mobile application development, including an assessment of the applicability of new mobile applications, and an exploration into the developments in a number of areas such as Web 2.0, 3G, Mobile TV, J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition) and many more. Key features of this second edition include: New introductory chapters on trends in mobile application, and on becoming an Operator. Two new chapters on Mobile 2.0 and IMS and Mobilizing Media and TV. Extra material on convergence, Web 2.0, AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) and MBMS (Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service), WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) and WiFi. Best practice on how to present to, sell to and work with operators. More insights, anecdotes and sidebars reflecting the author's extensive experience in the industry. Next Generation Wireless Applications will prove essential reading for professionals in mobile operator and mobile application developing companies, web developers, and developer community managers. Media companies, general managers, business analysts, students, business consultants, and Java developers will also find this book captivating. "If you want to understand the future of mobile applications and services, their potential impact and the growth opportunities this is the perfect starting point." —Martin Smith, Head of Content Innovation & Applications, T-Mobile

Hands-on information to help you fully exploit the capabilities of MIDP 2.0 on Symbian OS (including MMA, WMA and Bluetooth). This practical guide will walk you through developing example applications illustrating key functionality and explain how to install these applications onto real devices. Focuses on J2ME MIDP 1.0 and 2.0, as this platform has become the Java standard for phones Covers the optional J2ME APIs that Symbian OS Java is currently supporting Code samples are provided throughout Contains case studies that demonstrate how to develop games and enterprise applications

This module explains the growing number of Application Servers and their variants (Mobile Application Servers, Commerce Servers, B2B Servers, Multimedia and Collaboration Servers). This is one module of an extensive handbook that systematically discusses how to translate e-business strategies to working solutions by using the latest distributed computing technologies. The focus of this module of the handbook is on application servers that package several middleware and infrastructure services into a platform for development, deployment, and management of modern applications. Chapters of this module explain the principles of application servers and systematically discuss a) Mobile Application Servers based on WAP, I-Mode, J2ME, and others; b) Commerce Servers based on e-payment systems, electronic catalogs, XML, secure C2B trade; c) B2B Servers based on ebXML, Web Services, workflows, EDI, EAI; d) Multimedia and Collaboration Servers based on groupware, SMIL and RTP; and e) "Super Application Servers" that combine numerous services needed for Web, mobile applications, and EC/EB applications on a single platform (IBM's WebSphere is an example). Chapters of the module also include several real life examples and case studies to highlight practical applications. Additional information and instructor material available from author website (www.amjadumar.com).

Wireless Device Programming with Java 2 Micro Edition assumes readers are motivated to build the next generation wireless application by leveraging the J2ME technology. The book provides commercial-quality code and examples primarily based on the industry-leading Motorola phone emulator.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Web and Wireless Geographical Information Systems, W2GIS 2007, held in Cardiff, UK, in November 2007. The 21 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. The papers provide an up-to-date review of advances in recent development of Web and wireless geographical information systems, and address a broad range of issues like conceptual and logical models for W2GIS.
