Web services in present situation for fulfilling needs in web development along
with mobile accessibility. web services, role of web services in mobile
environment, types of web services, introduction of middle ware components, web
services on J2ME and web services on different mobile operating systems.
Web services are applications which run externally at different locations like
Google provides web services from America similarly different organizations will
have their own web services under their control. Web services are not language
dependent they can run any applications which are developed in different
languages and different platforms which is developed as per the common web
service standards.

Definition of Mobile and Wireless
• Mobile
– The ability to be on the move.
• Wireless
– The transmission of voice or
data over radio waves
5. Why to choose mobile?
Business Benefits
Increased employee productivity
Faster response time
Improved competitive advantage
Reducing costs
End-user Benefits
6. Mobile/Wireless Application Options
Wireless Internet (online only)
Online access to Web content
Typically used for consumer applications
Limited user interface and capabilities
Smart Client
Allows for offline access to important data
Works best in ‘occasionally connected’ environment
Messaging
Store and forward delivery of data
Text messaging is very popular, multimedia the next thing
Can be used on its own, or in addition to other architectures
8. Services on the Web
8
Web Services provide data and services to other
applications.
Thee applications access Web Services via standard
Web Formats (HTTP, HTML, XML, and SOAP), with
no need to know how the Web Service itself is
implemented.
Web services provide a standard means of
interoperating between different software applications,
running on a variety of platforms and/or frameworks.
18. WPAN Applications
For business applications, anytime you would
use a cradle for a network connection, a WPAN
can work
SQL Anywhere Studio can synchronize data wireless
over WPAN networks without modifying the application!
In some confined environments, Bluetooth can
be used as a local area network
As cable replacement for peripherals
Future uses include many embedded devices
such as sensors, interactive toys, smart badges,
and home automation
20. Wide Area Networks
Main Characteristics:
Long-range communication (national coverage)
Data rates from 9.6 kbps to 2 Mbps
WWANs were initially implemented for voice
communication, but data communication is a key
focus with the latest offerings
21. WWAN Applications
WWANs are still primarily used for voice
communications
Adoption of data services has been strong for
text messaging, and now, multimedia
messaging
Consumer uses include wireless Internet
access, whereas corporate usage is often
focused on smart client synchronization and
PIM and email access
The widespread deployment of 3G networks
has been hindered by Wi-Fi hotspots
24. CONCLUSION

So, I conclude by saying that by the usage of web
services on mobile devices any individual can
improve his performance and make efficient use
of resources .
