This is often not the case with mobile users in global environments. Such users are often disconnected from their contexts and cannot contribute in the best possible way to a business. Connection to contexts is essential for users to contribute usefully in collaborative processes. This requires the mobile devices to manage complex engagements by sequences of simple interactions, which are dynamically adapted to the changes in the context. This paper describes a modeling approach for such integration and the use of software agents to manage engagements using mobile devices. It provides a framework for defining ways to integrate mobility into business processes.","PeriodicalId":275276,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Mobile Business (ICMB'05)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126162191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A mobile operator publishing and entertainment platform enables the creation of a new category of mobile service called a mobile magazine. An m-Mag (mobile magazine) is a next generation mobile publishing service that is made available from a mobile operator's portal, that is integrated with value added mobile data services and that uses the operator's billing capabilities to charge consumers for access to the magazine. Using Parlay/OSA as an open approach, the m-Mag platform can integrate into an operator's network using standardised APIs and is portable across different operator networks.","PeriodicalId":275276,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Mobile Business (ICMB'05)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131476866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the field is at an early stage of development, there is still a lot of uncertainty about which of available wireless technologies will lead to the most successful solutions. Cellular networks, near field communication, infrared and Bluetooth are analysed in terms of their suitability for mobile payments. This paper tries to find out which of these technologies can lead to systems that the user will be most likely to accept. Acceptance factors discovered in the author's previous research are used in this analysis: perceived ease of use, usefulness, mobility, trust and cost. The study reveals which of the technologies are likely to best fulfil each of the acceptance criteria.","PeriodicalId":275276,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Mobile Business (ICMB'05)","volume":"52 1-2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126943834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can be regarded as an extension/specialisation of the broader area of electronic health. Due to the miniaturisation of technical devices and the enormous increase of processing, storage and networking capacities, nearly all telemedicine areas have become a field for research, trying to support home-and hospital-care as well as administrative processes. This paper adds a new element to this research by introducing a mobile medical monitoring system, which is presently under official trial with support from major health insurance companies. Although used primarily for the monitoring of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease up to now, we outline how it could be used in the future for many other types of disease or for the monitoring of clinical trials. In addition to the system design and deployment we discuss some early experiences from the ongoing field trials, leading to a short discussion on specific business strategies.","PeriodicalId":275276,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Mobile Business (ICMB'05)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124155142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The picture information is obtained from the network camera, accumulated in the server, and distributed to its clients according to their requests. In addition to the remote monitoring function, our server can provide a service for household appliance control. As a GUI client, we have utilized some kinds of cellular phones, and CLDC-based Java programming has been employed to realize the function of clients. For the sake of enhancement of our monitoring function, change from an acquisition picture to another can be analyzed through simple image processing. A service of urgent connection between clients and server is also adopted based on the result of image processing. We introduce an outline of our monitoring system and the contents of its various services, and then explain the detail of Java application which operates on our client devices such as mobile phones.","PeriodicalId":275276,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Mobile Business (ICMB'05)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132283055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many researches are studying mobile agent communication in order to provide a reliable communication protocol for mobile agents. In this research, we investigate communication issues among mobile agents, and propose a distributed sendbox approach based on session initiation protocol (SIP) as the signaling protocol. The distributed sendbox scheme offers two modes. Direct mode is used when receiver agent is stationary, whereas forward mode is invoked as receiver agent is moving. A prototype system is developed, and experiment results are also presented.","PeriodicalId":275276,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Mobile Business (ICMB'05)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132335560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper we propose a theoretical mobile work support framework and use this framework to analyze four fundamental aspects of mobile work: mobile workers, mobile tasks, mobile context, and mobile technology.
