Mobile Computing

Excerpt from Research Paper:

There is a significant amount of innovation occurring in Web Services today, primarily as a result of the proliferation of programming languages. AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is the most pervasive as this programming language only selectively updates specific areas of a Web-based or mobile application that has changed since the last customer request (Geier, et.al.). AJAX programming is also being optimized for XML (Extensible Markup Language) performance over networks with specific focus on ensuring high performance over low-bandwidth mobile computing platforms (Geier, et.al.). The combining of Web Services, data integration for legacy databases and systems throughout organizations, and the performance gains from AJAX and XML are setting a rapid pace of innovation in mobile computing strategies. It is important to note that these technologies are not inherently the reason for the shift to mobile computing platforms. It is the potential these technologies have when combined to drastically reduce the timeframes customers wait for data and for their questions to be resolved. All of these technologies when combined from a process standpoint have the potential to drastically increase the performance of a companys entire value chain. As customer expectations increase for real-time data often companies find that their entire series…
