• Mallyck et al.: Mobile and Wireless Design Essentials
• Nicholls et al. Wireless Security
• Hjelm: Creating Location Services for the Wireless Web
• Andersson et al.: GPRS and 3G Wireless Applications
• Bray et al. Bluetooth application developer guide

• Lectures tackle in the general issues of wireless from design point of view

1. Overview of the course
2. Mobile devices and their capabilities (4 slides/page)
3. Wireless Communication medium
   • PAN and touch zone)
   • Wireless Communication medium
4. Services
   • Service architectures (Mobile Internet, Ubicomp services)
   • MITA - applications

- Security issues - context awareness

• Demo lectures intend to describe more practical points on wireless application development

1. Maemo development platform for Nokia 770 (slides)
2. Device capabilities (CC/PP, UAprof and wurfl)
3. Bluetooth
4. NFC and RFID
5. example services
6. Service Discovery
7. Mobile payment

• Exercises will concentrate on helping to get project work done

• Project work details
• Create a service or application in which wireless communication is essential part
• Group size 1-N (2-4 recommended)
• Total amount of work: 50 hours/person.
  • Your work evaluation will be based on this estimate.
• The work is divided in to two phases.

1. Design phase DL: Beginning of 2nd period
2. Implementation phase
   • Demonstration day: End of second period
   • Document of implementation: By the end of year

• Design the application/service the group is going to create
• Write a document about the application
  • Who is the audience of the service.
  • What mobile/wireless devices are used
  • What communication technologies are used.
  • Is there going to be some service enhancing technologies used i.e. CC/PP, location,personalisation…
  • Justification for the choices you have made.
    • We have selected Bluetooth as communication medium because….
  • Who is going to do what in the final implementation.

• Implement the whole thing
  • Some parts of your design may not be implementable due the lack of resources.
• Write a document about the implementation phase
  • Who did and what
  • What kind of unexpected problems arose
  • Was everything implemented that was on plan
    • Why not? (e.g. air pressure sensors were not implemented since there was not any of them available)

• The total points for the course is 100
  • 50 points to pass, 60p:2, 70p:3 80p:4 90p: 5
• In exam the maximum points is 50
• From the project work the maximum points are 50
  • 20 points from the plan
    • Dependance on wireless communication
    • Well justified solutions
    • Clear document
  • 30 points from the implementation
    • Everything that was planned to be implemented was implemented?
    • The implementation was working flawlessly
