Measurement Data Logging Via Bluetooth 2005-08-11 03:00:02

The implementation of measurement data logging with data communication based on Bluetooth technology is described. The design, implementation and testing of two applications are presented. The first application is an alarm system to monitor alarm sensors and warning systems on a mobile device. The second application is a temperature and voltage measurement system, which transfers temperature and voltage values. Both applications are built up around a Bluetooth developer kit. A Bluetooth enabled mobile notebook PC or a PDA acts as a server. The implementation methodology consisting of application architecture design, technological design, software design, recording of measurement data, Bluetooth data transfer, and visualization of measurement data is described in detail.

Exploring Mobile Phone Interaction With Situated Displays 2005-10-18 03:00:02

One of the most promising possibilities for supporting user interaction with public displays is the use of personal mobile phones. Furthermore, by utilising Bluetooth users should have the capability to interact with displays without incurring personal financial connectivity costs. However, despite the relative maturity of Bluetooth as a standard and the widespread adoption in today's mobile phones market little exploration seems to have taken place in this area despite its apparent significant potential.

Energy-Efficient Graphical User Interface Design 2006-01-18 01:01:44

Mobile computers, such as cell phones and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), have dramatically increased in sophistication. At the same time, the desire of consumers for portability limits battery size. As a result, many researchers have targeted hardware and software energy optimization. However, most of these techniques focus on compute-intensive applications, rather than interactive applications, which are dominant in mobile computers. These systems frequently use Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) to handle human-computer interaction. This paper is the first to explore how GUIs can be designed to improve system energy efficiency.

Tsunami Response 2005-10-10 13:44:28

The Tsunami hit Asia but shook the world.

In the aftermath of the Asian Tsunami, the world rallied to help the affected region in rescue and recovery, including IBM.

The IBM Crisis Response Team was there to help coordinate a responsive, efficient, and reliable relief management effort. IBM's efforts included logistics support and management, victim tracking, and helpline services. Download this white paper to learn more.

Experiences in Collection of Handwriting Data for Online Handwriting Recognition in Indic Scripts 2005-12-22 01:01:52

This paper describes initial efforts at Hewlett-Packard Labs, Bangalore, to create datasets of online handwriting in Indic scripts to support research in online handwriting recognition for the Indic scripts. The term "online" here refers to the fact that handwriting is captured as a stream of (x,y) points using an appropriate pen position sensor (often called a digitizer), rather than as a bitmap (image). The paper describes the structure of Indic scripts in brief. It identifies different choices for segmenting characters into simpler shapes that can then be recognized using pattern recognition techniques. The paper discusses these issues in the context of the Tamil script.

Avaya 2005 Global Research Report: Working to Communicate Better in Business 2007-02-12 08:10:31 Avaya

The number of mobile workers worldwide continues to grow rapidly. In the US alone, this number is expected to reach 103 million by 2008, comprising a staggering 72% of the total employment workforce. To better understand enterprise communication needs in this changing work environment, Avaya has undertaken in-depth global research to examine the impact of mobility on communication and working practices.

Mobile Agent-Based Services for View Materialization 2004-11-04 University of Pittsburgh

Mobile agents are ideal for mobile computing environments because of their ability to support asynchronous communication and disconnected data processing. This paper presents a prototype set of extensible mobile-agent based services that allow the definition, materialization, maintenance and sharing of views created over remote web-accessible datasources, called ViSMA (Views Supported by Mobile Agents). ViSMA's primary goal is to support the customization and personalization of views by mobile users carrying lightweight devices of various connectivity and resources such as portable computers and PDAs.

The Battery Life Challenge - Balancing Performance and Power: Creating the 8-Hour Battery Life to Keep Your Mobile Lifestyle Working All Day 2004-11-01 Intel

Mobile computing has become a reality. Through the Wireless Verification Program, Intel and leading wireless LAN service providers have verified more than 40,000 hotspots around the world, with more cropping up each day. Mobile technology is continually advancing to keep up with the needs of the mobile user. But as Intel worked to make the ideal mobile experience, they found themselves up against an inherent struggle between extending battery life and improving mobile performance. There's no denying the value of longer battery life. To be truly empowered, users want their notebooks to run all day without requiring a recharge. But they also want performance. And performance requires power, which drains the battery.

Bluepipe: A Scalable Architecture for On-the-Spot Digital Forensics 2006-03-16 03:33:20 University of New Orleans

Traditional digital forensics methods are based on the in-depth examination of computer systems in a lab setting. Such methods are however relatively heavyweight and expensive and require significant expertise on part of the investigator. Thus, they cannot be applied on a wider scale and, in particular, they cannot be used as a tool by regular law enforcement officers in their daily work. This paper motivates the need for on-the-spot digital forensics tools that supplement lab methods and discuss the specific user and software engineering requirements for such tools. It presents the Bluepipe architecture for on-the-spot investigation and the Bluepipe remote forensics protocol that is developed and relates them to a set of requirements.
