AN INFORMATION ANNOUNCEMENT SYSTEM BASED ON WWW FOR MOBILE COMPUTERS

With the advance of computer technologies, mobile computers can hold m any local resources in themselves. In many cases it is impossible to a nnounce local resources on them because almost information announcemen t systems are not designed for them. In this paper, an information ann ouncement system for mobile computers based on WWW is proposed. The sy stem efficiently announces resources on mobile computers independently of whether they are connected to a network or nor, and wherever they are connected. The system can also select suitable announcement method s according to the type of resources. We implement a prototype of prop osed system and evaluate it. The result of evaluation confirms effecti veness of the proposed system.
