Exercises
- Objective
- Aid to get project work completed
Project work
- Implement service/app
- Wireless comm is as an essential part of the app
- Teams of size 1 - 4
- Estimated time - 50hrs/person
- Project phases
- Brainstorm - discuss idea with instructor (DD 22.10.2010)
- Design - specification document - (DD 02.11.2010)
- Implementation - (DD 07.12.2010)
- Demonstration / evaluation
- Documentation
Brainstorm phase
- Consider feasible projects
- Within time & resource constraints
- Guidance into available platform options
- Maemo4, Maemo5, Android, .NET, Symbian, pyS60, pyUIQ
- Team brainstorms with instructor
- Preceeds the design phase
Design phase
- Aim
- Design the app your team intends to develop
- Based on brainstorm session with instructor
- Document the app
- Service audience?
- Utilised mobile/wireless devices?
- Utilised comm technologies?
- What service enhancing technologies?
- CC/PP, Location, Personalisation, Context, …
- Choices & justifications
- E.g. Bluetooth over WiFi because …
- Task division
- Who implements what in the final app
Implementation
- Realise the design specification
- Some functionalities might not be realisable i.e. resource contraints
- Motivate the unrealiseable as well
- Document the actual implementation
- What each team member actually did/accomplished
- Encountered problems
- Were all design plans implmemented?
- Why not?
- What design parts were changed & why?
