Abstract:
Growing demand for ubiquitous and pervasive computing has triggered a sharp rise in handheld device usage. At the same time, dynamic multimedia data has become accepted as core material which many important applications depend on, despite intensive costs in computation and resources. This paper investigates the suitability and constraints of using handheld devices for such applications. We firstly analyse the capabilities and limitations of current models of handheld devices and advanced features offered by next generation models. We then categorise these applications and discuss the typical requirements of each class. Important issues to be considered include data organisation and management, communication, and input and user interfaces. Finally, we briefly discuss future outlook and identify remaining areas for research.
My Disucssion:
Not sure what to make of this paper. It wants to give some insight and categorization of the hadnheld space, but it is too short to really achievce either. For example, it starts out with trying to categorize the uses of handheld devices to access multi-media content into four distinc categories, but runs out of space to really delineate what sets one category apart from the others, especially in categories 2 and 3. Anf for a text that discusses handhelds, mobile phonbes, and mentions WAP to not mention mobile phone data networks in the paragraph about wireless networking seems strange; it came out in 2004 which means that in Japan 3G networks, amply suited for multimedia streaming have been running for at least two years, and are being deployed everywhere else. It has a massive list of refernces though, and is very useful for that.
