whitepaper ZDNet Make The Case: Business Case Template For Updating And Replacing Notebook PCs2005-10-06 10:57:45
  Regularly replacing notebook computer inventory is an important decision for all organizations. Increased computing power, operating system improvements and application software enhancements all work together to make employees more productive. However, these improvements must be balanced against the costs associated with refreshing notebook PC inventory. ZDNet's Make The Case: Business Case Template For Updating And Replacing Notebook PCs helps identify the business benefits, productivity advantages and cost savings that result from updating and replacing mobile PCs. The template also helps identify stakeholders needing to be involved in selecting, deploying and maintaining new systems and determine the business and ROI values of upgrading existing notebook PCs and purchasing new laptops..

whitepaper Desktop to Notebook Migration2005-08-30 03:00:02 Dell
  With recent advances in mobile technology, notebook computers have become a viable option for not just field workers or travelers but also for the traditional office worker. With their high capability and low cost, notebooks have the potential to actually replace desktops in agencies across the country. Though the initial cost of a notebook is still greater than a comparable desktop, the resulting increase in productivity can make the switch worthwhile by helping generate a strong return on investment (ROI) and a low total cost of ownership (TCO).   
whitepaper NIH Policy and Procedures for Acquiring and Managing Personal Digital Assistants2005-07-12 03:00:02
  PDAs are palm-sized computing devices that can provide users with constant access to locally stored information. Some PDAs also provide a wireless connection to e-mail, Internet, voice communications, and other wireless applications from on-site or off-site locations. NIH uses PDA devices for a variety of purposes; however, as with other information technology resources, NIH needs to ensure that PDAs procured for use by staff are justified, technically effective, and managed appropriately. This paper updates official policy and procedures for acquiring and managing Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) at NIH.   
whitepaper E-Learning to U-Learning, Adapting Learning Environments to Mobile Devices2006-02-24 01:01:25
  Life pressures make full time on campus study increasingly difficult for tertiary students. More flexible learning models are needed. U-learning environments that operate through both desktop and mobile technologies provide useful tools in implementing these learning models. This paper describes details the experience of making university courseware available for mobile devices via the Walkabout u-Learning Environment.   
whitepaper Computer Assisted Visual Interactive Recognition (CAVIAR) Technology2006-01-11 01:01:43
  The distinctive aspect of the CAVIAR technology is a visible, parameterized geometrical model that serves as the human-computer communication channel. Evaluation of CAVIAR flower and face recognition systems shows that their accuracy is much higher than that of the machine alone; their recognition time is much lower than that of the human alone; they can be initialized with a single reference sample per class; and they improve with use. CAVIAR-flower has been ported to stand-alone and to wireless laptop client Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs).

whitepaper The Case for the Tablet PC in Health Care2006-01-05 01:01:44
  In today's demanding, fast-paced, and mobile medical world, one can't always have access to a desktop computer and paper patient charts. The result - a lack of information and resources, often at critical moments-is a primary cause of problems or delays in providing optimal patient care, and contributes to inefficient work flow. The Tablet PC, with its versatile form that supports pen navigation, and the capability to write directly on the screen and convert to printed text, offers today's mobile health care workers the ability to revolutionize the ways they work by making it easy to capture, access, and use information wherever the job takes them.   
whitepaper In-Building Location Using Bluetooth2005-10-18 03:00:02
  This paper presents a new system for indoor location of a mobile device based on bluetooth technology. Bluetooth access points of a network are used for the location system and to access the network. Location is made by means of the signal strength received from those access points. The signal energy will be measured by the mobile device and it will be transmitted to a central server that calculates its location. Since location is made in a central server, it is possible to consider any kind of algorithm to estimate it. The location system also uses a previous scene analysis by considering a map of received signal strengths.   
whitepaper Measurement Data Logging Via Bluetooth2005-08-11 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.   
whitepaper Exploring Mobile Phone Interaction With Situated Displays2005-10-18 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.
