Ubi-App: a ubiquitous application for universal access from handheld devices

Handheld Computing Ubiquitous Access

Because handhelds are inexpensive compared to other types of computers, users can possess more than one of these devices, each having a specialized user interface. Although handhelds can be used in isolation, they also can interoperate with other devices through wireless networks including WiFi and Bluetooth. Further, by using inexpensive components, developers can integrate different technolog...

Ubiquitous Access to Information Through Portable, Mobile, and Handheld Devices

Grid Access Middleware for Handheld Devices

Grid technology attempts to support flexible, secure, coordinated information sharing among dynamic collections of individuals, institutions, and resources. The use of Grid services requires a resourceful workstation, specialized software installed locally and expert intervention. Mobile handheld devices in general do not posses enough computational and communication assets to meet the criteria...

Multimodal Database Access on Handheld Devices

We present the final MIAMM system, a multimodal dialogue system that employs speech, haptic interaction and novel techniques of information visualization to allow a natural and fast access to large multimedia databases on small handheld devices.

On Communication Optimization in Grid Access Middleware for Handheld Devices

This paper describes the optimization techniques for interaction of constrained handheld devices with Grid services by employing the concepts of Jini Surrogate Architecture. Handheld devices in general do not posses enough computational and communicational assets to meet the criteria for utilizing the Grid infrastructure services. We present the design of a middleware approach that aids handhel...
