The growing popularity of mobile devices is permanently changing the Internet user’s computing experience. Smartphones and tablets begin to replace the desktop as the primary means of interacting with various information technology and web resources. While mobile devices facilitate in consuming web resources in the form of web services, the growing demand for consuming services on mobile device...

Global mobility and connectivity of mobile computing and communication can be satisfied by integration of existing and future communication networks. Techniques that can cope with the varying bandwidth, multiple networks and the latency of mobile accesses are essential for supporting performance transparency of mobile computing and communication systems of the future. In this paper, we present ...

The mobile geospatial information service involves the domain of mobile communication, mobile computing, geospatial information service and other techniques. This paper focuses on the integration of spatial information and mobile communication technologies. The author proposes the architecture of mobile geospatial information service based on the Ad Hoc network. On the basis of this architectur...

The mobile agent programming paradigm offers several advantages for the development of distributed systems and applications. Mobile agent dependability is a key requirement for the acceptance and future development and deployment of mobile agents. In this paper, we propose a replication scheme for mobile agents based on the group concept and associated group communication services. Group commun...

Mobile RFID is a new application that provides a valuable service to users with mobile communication. Current RFID authentication schemes are not viable to use in mobile RFID environment. Since unlike in regular RFID environments, whereas the communication channel between the server and the reader is assumed to be secure, the communication channel between the server and reader in the mobile RFI...

Agent mobility presents distinct challenges not handled by traditional, distributed, communication frameworks. By nature, mobile agents change location over time, making targeted messaging difficult to achieve. Also, a communication infrastructure must handle the case that the agent may be migrating when the message is sent. We have implemented a Distributed Event Messaging System (DEMS) that s...

Mobile nodes that change their connection point dynamically, are deployed in networks for communication with aircraft, boats, trains and cars. These mobile nodes move together and share the same mobility properties. This paper addresses an efficient location management scheme based on collaboration of mobile nodes to a mobile network. In our proposed scheme, we address the efficient location ma...

From a marketing communication point of view, new digital marketing channels, such as Internet and mobile phones, are considered to be powerful opportunities to reach consumers by allowing interactivity and personalisation of the content and context of the message. The increased number of media has, however, led to a harder competition for consumers’ attention. Given the potential of digital me...

Digital mobile telecommunication systems have become a future trend in personal communications services (PCS) networks. To satisfy the demand for high quality services, security functions, including the authentications of communication parties and the confidentiality of communication channels, must be embedded into mobile communication systems. This work presents an authentication scheme to sup...
