Abstract:
Using Internet‐enabled mobile handheld devices to access the World Wide Web is a promising addition to the Web and traditional e‐commerce. Mobile handheld devices provide convenience and portable access to the huge information on the Internet for mobile users from anywhere and at anytime. However, mobile commerce has not enjoyed the same level of success as the e‐commerce has so far because mobile Web contents are scarce and mostly awkward for browsing. The major reason of the problems is most software engineers are not familiar with handheld devices, let alone programming for them. To help software engineers better understand this subject, this article gives a comprehensive study of handheld computing and programming for mobile commerce. It includes five major topics: (i) mobile commerce systems, (ii) mobile handheld devices, (iii) handheld computing, (iv) server‐side handheld computing and programming, and (v) client‐side handheld computing and programming. The most popular server‐side handheld applications are mostly functioning through mobile Web contents, which are constructed by using only few technologies and languages. On the other hand, various environments/languages are available for client‐side handheld computing and programming. Five of the most popular are (i) BREW, (ii) J2ME, (iii) Palm OS, (iv) Symbian OS, and (v) Windows Mobile. They are using either C/C++ or Java programming languages. This article will explain J2ME, a micro version of Java, and Palm OS programming, using C, by giving step‐by‐step procedures of J2ME and Palm application development.With the introduction of the World Wide Web, electronic commerce has revolutionized traditional commerce and boosted sales and exchanges of merchandise and information. Recently, the emergence of wireless and mobile networks has made possible the extension of electronic commerce to a new application and research area: mobile commerce (MC), which is defined as the exchange or buying and selling of commodities, services, or information on the Internet through the use of mobile handheld devices. In just a few years, mobile commerce has emerged from nowhere to become the hottest new trend in business transactions. Despite a weak economy, the future of mobile commerce is bright according to the latest predictions (Juniper Research Ltd., 2004). Internet-enabled mobile handheld devices are one of the core components of a mobile commerce system, making it possible for mobile users to directly interact with mobile commerce applications. Much of a mobile user’s first impression of the application will be formed by his or her interaction with the device, therefore the success of mobile commerce applications is greatly dependent on how easy they are to use. This article first explains the role of handheld devices in mobile commerce systems and then discusses the devices in detail. A mobile handheld device includes six major components: (a) a mobile operating system (OS), (b) a mobile central processor unit (CPU), (c) a microbrowser, (d) input and output (I/O) devices, (e) memory, and (f) batteries. Each component is described, and technologies for the components are given.

The emergence of wireless and mobile networks has made possible the introduction of electronic commerce to a new application and research subject: mobile commerce. Understanding or constructing a mobile commerce system is an arduous task because the system involves a wide variety of disciplines and technologies. This chapter tries to relieve this problem by giving careful studies of three themes of mobile commerce: (1) mobile commerce systems and transactions of which a system includes six components: (a) mobile commerce applications, (b) mobile handheld devices, (c) mobile middleware, (d) wireless networks, (e) wired networks, and (f) host computers; (2) mobile handheld devices, which are the communication devices between mobile applications and users and also include six major components: (a) a mobile operating system, (b) a mobile central processor unit, (c) a microbrowser, (d) input/output devices, (e) a memory, and (f) batteries; and (3) mobile payment methods, which include macro- and micro- payment methods. Other important issues, such as mobile commerce transactions and mobile security properties, are also discussed.

Mobile data traffic has been growing exponentially over the past few years. A report from Cisco shows that the mobile data traffic in 2014 grew 69 percent and was nearly 30 times the size of the entire global Internet in 2000 [item 1) in the Appendix]. One of the primary contributors to the explosive mobile traffic growth is the rapid proliferation of mobile social applications running on multimedia mobile devices (particularly smartphones). These sharp increases in mobile traffic (particularly from mobile social applications) are projected to continue in the foreseeable future. As mobile networks by and large are designed and deployed to meet people’s social needs, people’s behaviors and interactions in the social domain will shape their ways to access mobile services. Therefore, there is an urgent need to integrate social effects into the design of mobile networks.

Analyzing characteristics of wireless medium and mobile hosts, provide typical performance related issues considered for mobile database design considerations to improve mobile database computing. In this paper we investigate issues that need to be addressed in mobile database development suitable for mobile computing environment and then provide high-level mobile database model. We are considering GSN based mobile network provided with data services to mobile clients accessing database server via small mobile phones, where limited bandwidth, instability of wireless environment and limited resourced mobile phones require light weight mobile database, keeping frequently access objects at mobile phone to improve performance and provides high data availability for disconnected operations. We also propose scheme along with simulation study which identify most frequently accessed objects to ensure high data availability for small memory mobile phones.

Smart phones give the new market in the field of mobile communication called Mobile Application development. By using the smart phone a developer can develop many applications that can be run on given application environment. Mobile Application provides features called custom or user defined functionality in Mobile Phones. Today Mobile Application become advance and advance it can integrate a number of field of mobile computing like wireless network, Mobile Web Technology, GSM, GPRS and more. But as increase the capabilities of Smart phone the previous user of smart phone also like to use similar application in their device. The Mobile Augmentation Architecture provide a technique in which mobile application developer can build application such that it able to built application that give platform or network not support. This paper describes the role of Mobile Augmentation in the field of Mobile Technology. The paper also suggests various technologies in the field of mobile computing to help and to integrate to develop a mobile augmentation technology. Today Mobile Application become more and more advance with the advance technology of mobile computing so, There is need of a Mobile Application that can provide a robust functionality and provide a way to increase a performance and features of mobile device by the use of Integrated technology Architecture like a Mobile Augmentation. The Paper also describes how to implement the Mobile Augmentation Application and Layered Architecture of a Mobile Augmentation Application. This Paper describes how the Mobile Augmentation helps to Mobile Application development and mobile computing. This paper describe attempt to use these technologies in creating a Wireless corporate application It is beneficial for developers to provide rich set of functionality. Finally, we show real algorithm for mobile augmentation with implementation for streaming media.
