Multiple Client Processes in a Mobile Process Environment: Managing Ubiquitous Access of Mobile Devices Within Multi-wap-environments in Hospitals André Futter

While the coverage of area-wide wireless networks is becoming more and more common the number of mobile devices is also increasing. Thereby the possible field of application for wireless devices increases and provides new potentials to support their users in their everyday life. This also implicates the advancement of the underlying design and principles of communication of wireless devices within wireless networks. One of these communications technologies is Communicating Sequential Processes for Java (JCSP). In this book I adress the principles of JCSP in general and two extensions, namely JCSP. Net and JCSP. mobile, in particular. Thereby the already existing functionality of static client process loading will be investigated and as a result of this the functionality will be enhanced to cope with dynamic loading of multiple client processes. The result will then be evaluated by means of an exemplary implementation which in turn shall prove of its value. The importance of the JCSP package will therby be emphasised.
