Synopses & Reviews
Describing the key network elements, software components, and software protocols needed to implement wireless web services successfully, this volume stresses that the design of wireless web services must take into account the ways in which individual mobile users will access and interact with them. The book includes Java and XML code examples and a case study that reveals how all the elements of system design fit together. It is aimed at wireless web architects, network managers, and graduate students in electrical engineering and computer science.
Review
"The book is written in easy, understandable English, with many valuable pictures visualizing the content of the book. There are a lot of good source code examples complementing the content of the book. Each chapter ends with references and supplemental reading related to the content of the chapter. I would recommend the book for students interested in wireless services and networks, mobile network managers, and as a good introduction to the subject for engineers interested in designing Web services in wireless networks."
