For the small-scale and scattered fresh cucumber production in China, the result that production record-keeping and its transfer are inefficient have prevented the wide application of traceability systems in China. With the mobility and computability, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) provides a new way for agricultural information collection to solve the above problems. Thus a PDA-based Record-keeping and Decision-support System (PRDS) for traceability in cucumber production was developed on Windows Mobile platform invoking a Geographic Information System (GIS) control. For improving the decision making feasibility of PRDS, the fertilization recommendation model and pesticide usage early warning model were developed by using the Technical Specification of Balanced Fertilization by Soil Testing and the Guideline for Safety Application of Pesticides in China. The architecture of PRDS was provided. With Unified Modeling Language (UML), a requirement model including two types of users and 17 use cases was described, and a static class model was also designed, which consisted of table class, table operation class, algorithm class and interface class. Based on these models, the functions of system setup, map management, data management, production record-keeping and decision-support and query, etc., were implemented by adopting Hosting MapInfo MapX Mobile Controls on the .NET Compact Framework 2.0, and the data synchronization was realized by Remote Data Access (RDA). Two agricultural production enterprises were chosen as case study to evaluate the system by questionnaires. The results show that the efficiency of production record-keeping and decision-support is improved by the simple and friendly system.

Unique features of handheld devices, including their mobility, personalization and location-awareness engender new types of applications for mobile commerce, such as mobile advertising. Mobile marketing and advertising applications deliver promotional information to consumers based on their preferences and location. In this paper, we present SMMART, a context-aware, adaptive and personalized m-commerce application designed to deliver targeted promotions to the users of mobile devices about the products they like while guarding the users’ identity and protecting them from any unsolicited messages. Promotions distributed by SMMART are personalized by performing intelligent matching of the user’s shopping interests to current promotions available at a retail site. SMMART can adapt to changing preferences of its user by inconspicuously monitoring his or her shopping habits. We describe a fully functional prototype of SMMART built for Pocket PCs running Windows CE with .NET Compact Framework. This paper also presents a study demonstrating end-user usability and economic viability of SMMART.

Aiming at addressing difficulties in the development of embedded system, this paper proposes a new method. Based on the object-oriented concepts and by reference to the touching operating mode of the smart phones or tablet PCs, we achieved a new set of smart touching UI controls and device driver classes library in C# with the .NET Compact Framework environment. This method improves the programming efficiency of embedded system, greatly reducing the workload of programmers. Using this method, we have successfully developed a data acquisition and monitoring system based on the InsLink's iPC2016, the system is running for environmental monitoring.

Many standard baby-tests (paper and pencil versions) are used in clinics to evaluate by separate major domains in child neurodevelopment (ND) such as: 1) speech and language, 2) motor and 3) sensory (visual and hearing). Our aim was to design an automated easy to apply instrument that integrates in one test important milestones in all these domains. The test to assess pediatric neurodevelopment (NPED in Spanish) was implemented as software upon a mobile device personal digital assistant (PDA). It allows a rapid standardized (age adjusted) evaluation of language and psycho motor development and includes original hearing and visual acuity tests. The NPED system detects neurodevelopmental deviations in these areas providing a final PASS/FAIL result. The software was implemented, using the integrated development environment Visual Studio 2008, Visual C# programming language, and the .Net Compact Framework. Test results are stored in a PDA database and can be exported to a desktop PC for further analysis. Also, the test items and materials can be easily configured to the PDA features and can be adapted to different cultural environments (language items). Although the system as all screening tools was designed to identify ND disorders that should be referred for diagnosis, it gives also useful information for management and intervention of children with slight ND problems. Thus it could be implemented as hand- held automated screening tool at primary care health services to be used by volunteers and/or other personnel with minimal training.

This month we’re embedding ourselves inside Microsoft’s .NET Compact Framework (CF), billed by Microsoft as the perfect platform to create software applications that target mobile devices. That’s accurate—and it’s not.

Uspelo nam je vzpostaviti povezavo med avtomobilom in pametnim mobilnim telefonom preko povezave Bluetooth in omrežja GPRS. Podatki se zajemajo iz avtomobilskega motorja in GPS-a ter se prikazujejo v mobilni aplikaciji preko Bluetootha s pomočjo grafov, števcev in geografske karte. Diplomsko delo obsega podroben opis izdelave aplikacije in predstavitev vseh razvojnih okolij, knjižnic, SDK-jev in protokolov, uporabljenih za uspešen prikaz podatkov. Za branje podatkov iz avtomobila je bil uporabljen protokol OBD2, za komunikacijo med strojno opremo in našo aplikacijo pa lasten protokol preko povezave Bluetooth. Omrežje GPRS je bilo uporabljeno za prenos podatkov na strežnik, kjer se jih lahko opazuje s pomočjo spletne aplikacije. V diplomskem delu je predstavljeno, kako je mogoče zajeti podatke iz avtomobila in jih prikazati na mobilnem telefonu z operacijskim sistemom Windows Mobile 6.1. A connection between a car and a smart cell phone via Bluetooth connection and GPRS network has been successfully established. Data are gathered from the car engine and GPS and are displayed in the mobile application via Bluetooth using graphs, meters and maps. In the thesis, a detailed description of the application production and a presentation of all development environments, libraries, SDKs and protocols used for a successful display of data is included. For data reading from the car protocol OBD2 has been used, for the communication between hardware and our application our own protocol via Bluetooth has been employed. The GPRS was used for transferring the data onto the server where they can be observed through a web application. In the thesis it is presented how it is possible to gather data from a car and display them on a cell phone through the system Windows 6.1.

Since mobile devices were conceived and commercialized, their market has grown exponentially, so as its problems related to secure data residing in them. Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is an approach to public key cryptography (PCK) based on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields. It represents the most suitable choice for implementing cryptography in mobile devices since it uses smaller key sizes compared with others traditional public key cryptosystems without decreasing the security level. In this work we present the design of software modules for ECC over .Net Compact Framework (.Net CF) 3.5 well suited for mobile and embedded devices with Windows CE as operating system. The main cores are modules for finite field arithmetic and elliptic curve cryptographic schemes defined over the prime field Z p . These modules are not available neither in the programming language nor the .Net CF. We evaluated the performance of our implementations using the Personal Digital Assistant devices IPAQ 116 and Handheld HP 216, using elliptic curves over the prime field Z p with p=192, 224 and 256, which are key sizes currently recommended by NIST. Our results show that ECC could be implemented in .Net CF with a performance that should be tolerated by most of the users with a high degree of security.

The Controlled Randomness Protocol (CRP) for management of cryptographic keys is a method to improve the security level of secure communication protocols. We assess the performance of the CRP when implemented on embedded systems running the .NET Compact Framework. We present our findings from two different platforms: one smartphone running .NET Compact Framework 3.5 and one smartphone running .NET Compact Framework 4.0. Our assessment verifies that when implemented in the .NET Compact Framework, the controlled randomness protocol imposes a configurable and tolerable amount of overhead computation while it offers a significant security improvement compared to a conventional implementation of a key management protocol.

Human life is divided into day periods as a main periods which consist of a day and night phase. Most of humans need to sleep a eight hours in a minimum to have their body and all the body function ready in day phase of a day. The second very important thing (instead of 8 hour sleep) is a phase of sleep in which a human is wake up. Waking up of a human in deep sleep phase lead to a very “unhappy” morning and not so nice spend of day. We are trying to develop algorithms to detect mild sleep stages which are the most suitable to human wake up. Actually we use microphone input to record and process sound near the monitored user. All the knowledge is implemented to mobile phone (windows mobile based device) as an intelligent alarm application. Whole application is designed as multithread Real-Time application based on. NET Compact Framework platform in C# language. Filtration and detection algorithms used special Math library Math. NET to process a recorded sound signal. This paper consists of several chapters which describes design, implementation and testing phases of this mobile application development. Actual testing results shows that our developed application detect correctly more than 70 % of mild sleep stages of all tested persons.

Ugradbeni uređaji sve češće pristupaju web uslugama pomoću kojih obavljaju zahtjevne operacije, koje sami ne mogu izvesti zbog ograničenosti vlastitih resursa. Te operacije često obuhvaćaju pristup i obradu povjerljivih informacija. Stoga je nužno implementirati određene sigurnosne mehanizme kako bi se ispunili zahtjevi povjerljivosti, integriteta, neporecivosti, autentifikacije, autorizacije i raspoloživosti. Navedene zahtjeve moguće je osigurati primjenom sigurnosnih mehanizama na transportnoj razini te na razini poruke. Implementacija sigurnosnih mehanizama na ugradbenim uređajima često je slabo podržana jer sama po sebi predstavlja dodatno opterećenje resursa ugradbenih uređaja. S obzirom na prirodu informacija i okolinu iz koje im se pristupa potrebno je implementirati samo nužne sigurnosne mehanizme kako bi se raspoloživi resursi optimalno iskoristili.

Mobile devices are now used not only for communication but also as working units. As more sensitive information is stored on and transmitted through these devices, security is becoming a growing concern. This is especially true for SMS messages which do not integrate any security mechanism. This is why we propose a simple-to-use but cryptographically strong API for message encryption and authentication that was designed with the limited memory and processing power of a mobile device in mind; and a protocol that will ensure their confidentiality and integrity. This strategy is embodied in the cryptography framework called Linca and the SMS security protocol called SMSSec. The framework and protocol are tested through the design and implementation of an SMS banking application called SecureBanking. The application was written for the .NET Compact Framework (.NET for mobile devices) and was based on a previous version done for Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME). Finally, a performance analysis is presented to show that the encryption time on the mobile device is negligible compared to the duration of the transmission.

Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) researchers in collaboration with Tyndall National Institute, both based in Cork, a city in the southern coast of Ireland, have developed a container management and monitoring system using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), with a support of Cork Port and local industry. The system is designed to seamlessly integrate with existing container management schemes (and with staff procedures) at the port, efficiently, and at low cost, extending its capabilities through remote querying, localization and security. To achieve its goals, the system exploits the capabilities of wireless sensor nodes, used as container ‘tags’, which form a wireless, ad-hoc network throughout the container yard. This chapter will briefly describe the project rationale and the technology development process, which includes hardware solutions built by Tyndall — a dedicated sensor node platform composed from that Institute’s wireless sensor toolkit. It will also discuss the software and networking solutions created and implemented through CIT’s research. This includes specialized graphical user interfaces on portable devices (e.g. a solution was implemented for PDAs, based upon the .NET Compact Framework) and applications for WSN motes, running the TinyOS operating system, to provide full system functionality and multi-hopping communication. The chapter will also describe the work done to overcome the primary project challenges, including the issue of the radio shielding effects of the containers. The final system demonstrates multi-hopping and ad-hoc routing techniques that could exploit the containers, by stack and row, to forward information from one to the next and, in this way, enabling intelligent, reliable communication from anywhere in the port to the management system user.

Handheld devices in a pervasive computing environment are prone to security as well as privacy violations, while discovering, sharing and accessing services and contents. Trust models are devised to fight against such violations and breaches. Although initial trust assignment is an important issue in evolving overall trust, a little amount of work has been done in this field so far. In pervasive smart space, similar type of contexts exhibits significant correlations to each other. However, this fact is not taken into consideration while computing the initial trust values. In this paper, we describe a new mechanism to assign initial trust: CCTB (Context Correlation for Trust Bootstrapping), which takes advantage of the presence of correlations among different contexts in a context-ontology. We evaluate the effectiveness of CCTB by simulating in two different scenarios. We show that CCTB offers better initial trust values than the other models considered here. We also implement a prototype for performance measurement using .NET Compact Framework.

This paper conveys some of the experiences with using commercial off-the-shel (COTS) products as clients to Bluetooth enabled devices, which have no user interface of their own, but relies on the COTS products for user interaction. The COTS devices used include several different vendors' models of the microsoft Pocket PC platform (also known as windows mobile professional or classic) running .NET compact framework, as well as a number of different models of Java enabled cell phones from nokia, siemens and sony-ericsson. The specific case study is with the Taxmaster4 Windows mobile product used with BMW automobiles as a driving log application. The paper concludes that many usability problems exist when using COTS products. These may to some extend be overcome by pragmatic design decisions, but it is necessary that the COTS products hardware platform and application programming interfaces should become better suited to support distributed user interfaces than is the case today. This includes better support for basic user interface elements as well as supporting Bluetooth and other wireless technologies more reliably. These issues should be addressed by the vendors and manufactures of these platforms, not the application programmers.

This research investigates the threat .NET viruses pose to mobile devices supporting the .NET Compact Framework. The focus is on (1) the feasibility of transforming, via renovation, a .NET virus to comply with the .NET Compact Framework and (2) deciding if the transformed virus can succeed in infecting a mobile device supporting the .NET Compact Framework. A formal model to identify non .NET CF compliant source code and to derive transformation rules is presented and characterized. The model was used to transform a test suite of .NET viruses to comply with the .NET Compact Framework. These transformed viruses successfully infected files on two mobile devices. Four desktop virus detectors were tested to detect the .NET viruses and their transformed versions. Three of the four did worse in detecting the transformed versions than on the original .NET version. The research shows that .NET viruses pose an apparent and realizable threat to mobile devices supporting the .NET Compact Framework.

The problem of supporting the secure execution of potentially malicious third-party applications has received a considerable amount of attention in the past decade. In this paper we describe a security architecture for mobile devices that supports the flexible integration of a variety of advanced technologies for such secure execution of applications, including run-time monitoring, static verification and proof-carrying code. The architecture also supports the execution of legacy applications that have not been developed to take advantage of our architecture, though it can provide better performance and additional services for applications that are architecture-aware. The proposed architecture has been implemented on a Windows Mobile device with the .NET Compact Framework. It offers a substantial security benefit compared to the standard state-of-practice) security architecture of such devices, even for legacy applications. ispartof: pages:19-28 ispartof: Proceedings of the 2007 ACM workshop on Computer security architecture pages:19-28 ispartof: 2007 ACM workshop on Computer security architecture location:Fairfax, Virginia, USA date:2 Nov - 2 Nov 2007 status: published

Platform independence is the major advantage of the Java programming language. Whereas Java is widespread on servers, desktop computers and mobile phones. In contrast, PDA and Pocket PC applications are usually based on C or C# applications in the .NET Compact Framework. The paper focuses on the J2ME standard and its suitability for Pocket PCs and PDA. In that context we also give an overview of existing Java Virtual Machines (JVMs). In particular we evaluate Esmertecs Jbed CDC, IBM Websphere Everyplace, Creme and MySaifu and compare them according to functional criteria as well as standard conformance and performance. Furthermore a set of tests to benchmark these different JVMs is given. Finally, An example application is implemented, as part of the Bosporus project, to evaluate the JVMs from the programmers perspective.

The bachelor thesis deals with developing applications using.NET Compact Framework. It describes a development of NET CF versions and their contribution for users. Thesis describes controls which are in different distributions of .NET CF for different devices (PocketPC, Smartphone) and it shortly describes Integrated Development Environment Visual Studio 2008. It also deals with possibilities for testing applications namely with Microsoft Device Emulator V3 which is linked with Integrated Development Environment Visual Studio 2008. It analyzes options possibilities of this emulator. Thesis puts the accent on creating layout and possibilities for his creating in Integrated Development Environment Visual Studio 2008. At the end of the thesis there is mentioned a practical example. It is application for sending SMS messages. All steps for creation of application are caught in screenshots.
