Mobile instant messaging

The two most popular text-messaging systems nowadays are Instant Messaging (IM) and Short Messaging System (SMS). IM runs in computers, where SMS runs through mobile phones. Nowadays, there are numerous efforts done to merge the functionalities of IM into mobile phone. This is due to the fact that IM can provide "presence" of users and less costly. In order to provide the best satisfaction to its users, the mobile IM should be able to communicate to multiple IM service providers. In relation to that, this paper presents the research conducted to develop a mobile IM named Message Conveying System (MCS) that allows it to enable communication with other IM service providers. This was made possible through the implementation of Jabber protocol in MCS, which results in its interoperability with other Jabber-based IM service providers. The MCS was tested to be successfully run on the mobile phone and communicate with the other two Jabberbased IM service providers; Psi and Spark.

Instant messaging (IM) and network chat communication have seen an enormous rise in popularity over the last several years. However, since many of these systems are proprietary, little has been described about the network technology behind them. This analysis helps bridge this gap by providing an overview of the available features, functions, system architectures, and protocol specifications of the three most popular network IM protocols: AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and Microsoft Messenger. We describe common features across these systems and highlight distinctions between them. Where possible, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different technical approaches used in these systems to support different features and functions. We also briefly discuss ongoing efforts to standardize IM and chatbased protocols in IETF and other standards bodies.

We describe the usability challenges of designing a mobile instant messaging (IM) application with voice (VoIP) capability. The key challenge was to maintain the experience of PC-based IM applications while taking into account both the constraints of mobile devices and the differences in the context in which such applications are used. We also discuss the challenges involved in implementing solutions to correspond with the capabilities and UI conventions of varied platforms and devices.

This paper presents the design, implementation and validation of an enhanced mobile phone messaging system (DeDe), allowing the sender to define the context in which the message will be delivered to the recipient. A field trial among a socially tight group of teenagers showed that the DeDe feature was incorporated as part of the participants' existing messaging culture. 11,4% of their total messaging output made use of the DeDe feature. The most frequently used context parameters were location (based on network cell-ID) and time. Novel message practices emerged, as compared to 'normal' messaging, both in terms of timing of message sending, as well as creating content that specifically exploited the DeDe feature. Some use barriers were recognized, the most important being the sender's uncertainty of delivery success. Implications for design are discussed.

This paper demonstrates the IMPRUVE (Instant Messaging as a Platform for the Realisation of a true Ubiquitous Computing Environment) platform, which was developed by the TSSG and supported by Enterprise Ireland and Aceno. It is currently used for commercialisation within the Aceno platform. This paper addresses the blending of computing technology into our everyday lives such that tasks, both computer and non-computer orientated, are made simpler by intelligent computer systems that have awareness of the user and their environment. This broad domain is often termed ubiquitous or pervasive computing. In this paper, we address this domain from a human-centric communications perspective; building on existing mobile wireless standards and protocols, emerging messaging and middleware technology, and innovative new approaches to unifying access to diverse communities, services and devices.

Today, we are seeing an increasing number of software applications that users want to use anywhere, anytime. Such mobile applications often deliver their user interfaces (UIs) to client devices over the World Wide Web. However, web-based UIs cannot provide the same level of usability as window-based UIs on mobile devices with their small screens and occasional network dropouts. To address this challenge, we present a UI framework that combines the usability of a full-featured UI with the flexibility of a thin presentation logic: We exchange interface specifications and events between the application logic on the server and a generic UI rendering engine on the client device using an instant messaging infrastructure. The paper gives an overview of the framework architecture and the features of the communication protocol, and discusses performance measurements obtained on a public network.

2008 The Second International Conference on Next Generation Mobile Applications, Services, and Technologies, 2008

In this paper we present an open source platform for mobile services execution and creation that has been ported to work into the IMS architecture. The platform has been developed in the context of the Simple Mobile Services research project and it includes a mobile client called MOVE (Mobile Open and Very Easy) developed using the Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) platform. The paper describes the features of the service execution/creation platforms, then it shortly introduces the IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) , finally it describes the process of porting the Simple Mobile Services architectural elements into the IMS architecture

The world we live in today is a mobile one, whereby we are surrounded phones, PDA's and laptops. This paper looks at how all these devices can be used together of a collaborative fashion to solve parallel computing problems in a Java based environment. The means by which cross platform Bluetooth enabled applications can be developed and executed is examined, enabling mobile message passing to come into its own. The effectiveness of this parallel architecture is examined, with real world test results being presented to show that cross platform mobile parallel computing is more than a viable option for the world of today.

Through communication, an individual can express his ideas, feelings, and various aspects to others. Communication via the internet is becoming increasingly important these days. Through online communication, users can communicate with others remotely quickly, and conveniently irrespective of their physical location. With this in mind, communication applications should be able to instantly transfer files and messages with no delay or with minimal delay, depending on the transmission medium. For such a system to work, it needs a database that is updated in real-time to keep track of all the data sent. Google Firebase is a service that provides a real-time database server and various other functions. Firebase makes it relatively easy to develop communication-based applications. The main purpose of this paper is to initiate real-time communication between users through a software application that works on android devices connected to the internet such that the communication gap between the users gets reduced. Google Firebase is used to handle the communication process of the backend and text translation and image optical character recognition are among the features included in this application.
