Distributed Java Mobile Information System

Technology is now everywhere; integrated into our everyday objects and activities. Mobile computers and devices are now widely affordable and powerful enough. Because of that, developments of mobile applications become a phenomenon today. Mobile applications could be used both to connect people with each other, and to link them with crucial data from almost anywhere in mobile manner. Since mobile devices come in a variety of purposes and properties and in different communication mechanisms, a portable software platform and a flexible and extensible networking supports need to be considered. Java, specifically Java Micro Edition (JME), is particularly an attractive development environment that suits the purpose. This paper discusses a research project of a Java-based smart mobile application. The application, a client/server based application, is designed using JME. It allows the built application to be deployed on any client devices and access to a large variety of network services on the server side. The open source database.
