Mobility in enterprise applications
Arkady Zaslavsky
|
Abstract
In recent years, mobile computing has become the focus of intensive research
efforts in various areas of information and communication technologies. These
areas include wireless networking, distributed systems, operating systems,
distributed databases, software engineering, applications development, just to
name a few. Pervasive, ubiquitous, invisible, wearable computing all refer to
different foci in addressing implications of mobility in diverse computer
applications. Mobile computing is associated with mobility of users, hardware,
software and data. This talk concentrates on various aspects of mobility and
its implications, as well as on enabling technologies. Enterprises are
undergoing major evolution and changes linked to pervasiveness of distributed
electronic services, available "anytime, anywhere". We will discuss challenges
that business applications face with regards to mobility. These challenges
include adaptability, context management, security, customisable interfaces,
accuracy and credibility of information, system reliability and cost-efficiency.
The architectural issues of building enterprise applications, which support
mobile and pervasive computational activities, will also be presented. Finally,
we will discuss a project on developing mobility-enabled enterprise architecture
at the Cooperative Research Centre "Distributed Systems Technology Centre", CRC
DSTC, funded by the Australian Government.
