Indoor Guide – A Java and CORBA based mobile application
The market of mobile handheld devices and mobile application is growing rapidly. Many different hardware and software products are available. But there is a problem, too many standards from different companies. Software applications implemented for different platforms are very often not compatible with each other. The Vivian project [1] attempts to solve these problems by applying of middleware technologies. These middleware technologies hide an application from low-level details of operating systems, hardware, and data transport protocols. This approach is already successfully utilized in a “normal” PC world in order to solve the problem of the heterogeneity. In Vivian it helps to build applications with high interoperability level in a mobile environment.
A particular task of the project is to specify the common application-programming interface based on middleware, which can be used for farther software development of third party firms. The first step of the investigation was to try to use existing middleware technologies like OMG CORBA [2] and Sun RMI [3] for mobile terminals with wireless connecting capability. For this purposes our group built the prototype “Indoor Guide” application.
