of design. The probes focus designers' attention onto successfully managing complexity and in coping with socio-economic influences on design practice in the real world. 1 Introduction We may take it as self-evident that design should be good, yet it is also clear that it is di#cult to make it so

digital assistants (PDAs) allow computing resources to be almost ubiquitous. This article illustrates how handheld computing is changing the way some Department of Defense (DoD) organizations do business and discusses how you may take advantage of the capabilities that are available through

The continuing proliferation of handheld computing devices holds out the promise for a new generation of computing applications that could enrich our experience of the world around us. Yet many issues must be overcome for this vision to be realized: What applications will enrich our lives? What

of consumer behaviour, and largely ignores the experiential nature of such behaviour. As a response, we present a study examining the reasons why purchasing impulses are deferred. Results are used to inform thinking and motivate design solutions for new mobile consumer services and technologies. 1.

physical hyperlinks, identifier resolution, ubiquitous computing, nomadic computing Identifier resolution is presented as a way to link the physical world with virtual Web resources. In this paradigm, designed to support nomadic users, the user employs a handheld, wirelessly connected, sensor

such as education, tourism, shopping or business, at any time and at any place. Here we present Ubiquitous Secretary, which is designed and developed to accomplish the above objectives. Ubiquitous computing applications developed so far are all independent and rich in their own domains but they suffer from

Advances in digital electronics over the last decade have made computers faster, cheaper and smaller. This coupled with the revolution in communication technology has led to the development of sophisticated networked appliances and handheld devices. “Computers ” are no longer boxes sitting on a

Using the new wireless technologies, mobile devices with small displays (handhelds, Personal Digital Assistants, mobile phones) are present in many environments. We are interested in the effective use of such mobile computing devices for supporting collaborative learning. We show its application

Abstract – In the present era, the requirement for informa-tion on portable, handheld devices is demanding the realiza-tion of increasingly complex applications for increasingly small and ubiquitous devices. This trend promotes the migra-tion of technologies that were originally developed
