Mobile Application and Services : Design and Development
Please stay tuned to this webpage as it is subject to regular modification during the semester.
Course Description
The goals of this course are twofold. First, it aims to give a detailed description of mobile services offered by cellular wireless networks as well as those provided by emerging broadband networks. To better understand the operations of these services, an overview about the evolution of wireless systems and their architectures are discussed at the beginning of this lecture. Second, this course targets the description of new emerging technologies and tools used to design and implement multimedia applications for mobile devices (cell phones, smartphones, PDAs, etc.) taking into account the technical constraints relative to storage capacity, processing capacity, display screen, communication interfaces, and user profiles.

Lecture Notes
Slides will be posted here and to the intranet here \\datas\teaching\courses\mobserv\fall-2010 when available. In addition, each group of 2-4 students will be assigned a MobServ challenge project:
- The project should be conducted by groups of at most 4 students
- Each team should prepare a report describing the proposed application (Note that sometimes one figure is better than lot of text pages!)
- Each team will have 20mn to present and describe their project
- All students should attend all presentations and contribute in the discussion
- The final presentation will be after the last session of the course
A description of term projects is available[here] to be updated
The final grade is calculated as follows: 30% Lab Session + 30% Final Exam + 40% Project.
