Mobile e-Learning
Member of the CIT e-Learning
group: research and development of innovative
e-learning strategies. Areas include mobile gaming
(educational)
Location Aware Programmable Handeld Wireless
Devices
The emergence of low cost GPS (Global Positioning
System) devices couple with handheld powerful computing
devices (some with a camera) opens up a new area of
location aware programmable devices. Application could
include remote data interrogation and gathering, theft
alarm and recovery, location based advertising
being 'pushed' to a mobile device if it is close to
services the user is interested in.
Smart Shopping Assistant
The use of mobile devices (pda's, mobile phones
etc) as a shoppingn assistant - everything from creating
the shopping list to shop browsing to paperless checkout.
Intelligent Tour Guide
Research and develop an application to allow mobile
devices to perform object/symbol recognition. The
mobile application to be developed will allow camera
enabled mobile devices to gather relevant information
on specific items using the built in camera. ** to
be updated **
House Resource Management via mobile
Management of resources for a group of individuals
sharing a house/flat. Mobile devices interface with
house hardware (tv, pc, heating etc). Individuals
are allocated resource units e.g. 2 hours TV/day.
Members can only use allocted resources so e.g. can
only use the resource for the allocated time. ** to
be updated **
Other Areas of interest
Location aware devices, automated mobile game testing,
mobile as thin client e.g. J2ME/J2EE/SQL, photo recognition,
remote monitoring/control, mobile platform home automation,
multi networked mobile, automotive
Past Masters Projects I've suprvised:
Object Based
Storage System for wireless applications
- The emergence of 3rd generation mobile networks
will enable the next generation of computing devices
with a small scale low power architecture yet with
functionality to access the vast resources and data
which the internet can provide. The convergence
of Internet and Wireless telecommunications domain
is creating the need for a new way of accessing
and controlling a variety of everyday systems and
devices. We need to cater for storage services such
as data access, data management and content delivery
across a complex heterogeneous network.

Software Life
Cycle for Component Software
- Current software development life cycle models
do not cater for the development of component software.
A new life cycle is being investigated.
