| Læringsmål: | The course is about location-based applications for mobile
workers. It aims at giving
students a thorough insight into the prospects and issues of
applying the emerging wireless technologies of
communication and positioning for supporting mobile
action and interaction in contemporary work settings.
After the course the student will
know the technical principles of positioning
mobile devises;
be able to engage competently in the
development of location-based mobile applications;
have an understanding of the design issues
arising from the distributed nature of mobile wireless
networks;
have an understanding of the application
prospects and issues with location-based mobile
applications;
have an understanding of the conceptual
foundation of designing location-based applications (e.g.,
determining location, nearness, context);
have an understanding of the interface design
prospects and issues with mobile applications. |
| Fagligt indhold: | The course covers the following topics:
Characteristics of mobile working.
Case studies of mobile working (e.g., process
control; maritime navigation; hospital work; emergency
management).
Mobile communication technologies (GSM, UMTS,
IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, RFID, etc.)
Positioning technologies (GPS, Network-based
positioning).
Distributed systems (e.g., strategies of achieving
synchronization and consistence over distributed
transactions).
Designing IT applications for mobile workers.
Mobile and tangible interfaces.
Students will
be engaged in project work, developing a conceptual design
of an application for selected use scenarios. |
| Læringsaktiviteter: | In the first half of the course, course work will be primarily
based upon lectures and exercises; in the second half,
primarily project work. |
| Eksamensform og -beskrivelse: | X. experimental examination form (7-scale; external exam), 13-skala, Intern censur During the course students (working in groups) prepare a
written report that is the point of departure of the oral
exam.
Deadline for handing in written delivery is 30 April before 12.00 a.m. at the Examination office.
The student opens by giving a short presentation on a topic
in the report of his or her own chosing and can use
overheads as well as notes.
