Professional MITA

Those in the business know that an Internet that's mobile and wireless requires interoperability between applications, network environments, and user identity systems so products can be flexible and versatile. A mobile internet also requires that products accommodate customers, so folks don't go crazy tripping over technical problems; and the system must support open technologies, so applications can multiply. Nokia addresses these challenges with the Mobile Internet Technical Architecture (MITA), described in this three-volume/three-CD-ROM set. The first volume covers existing technologies and the state of standardization. The second sets forth current Nokia solutions to the problems of combining various technologies and demonstrates the MITA tools. The third volume, oriented to the future, includes topics such as browsing, messaging, rich call, QoS, and security, as well as a reference implementation section for validating new concepts and smoothing the way for new products. The included CD-ROMs contain software development material. The set is published in Finland and distributed in the US by Cromland, Inc. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
