WEB SERVICES ON MOBILE
PLATFORM

2. ABSTRACT
2
 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

4. Mobile computing and wireless
communication just a few years ago

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

7. Shopping in the future

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.

10. Web services building block
• SOAP
• WSDl
• UDDI

11. Wireless Environment
 Wireless Operators and Service Providers
 Device Manufacturers
 Hardware vendors
 Software infrastructure Providers
 Independent Software Vendors
 System Integrators

12. Variability of the mobile
environment
Mobile device capability
Mobility
Connectivity

13. M-Commerce
 Digital purchase
 Mobile Banking
 Information Services
 Location based services
 Mobile Shopping
 Mobile Advertisement

14. M-Business
 Mobile Office
 Field Sales
 Field Services
 Transportation and Logistics

15. Challenges
 Coverage and
penetration
 Bandwidth
 Reliability
 Cost
 Lack of Standards
 Roaming

16. Device characteristics
 Size and weight
 Memory
 Processors type and speed
 Screen
 Size and colour
 Indoor/Outdoor
 OS
 Software support
 Expansion capabilities
 Built-in functionality

17. Wireless Networks
Satellite

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

19. WLAN Configurations
Peer to Peer Wireless LAN

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

22. Network issues
 Increased bandwidth
 Always-on capability
 Lower costs
 Enhanced services
 roaming

23. Location-based services

24. CONCLUSION
24
 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 .
