Paper Abstract:
|
The move towards mobile Internet is inevitable especially with the high penetration of mobile phones in comparison with desktop computers and laptops. Governments are also trying to exploit the advantages of the mobile Internet and in particular being able to reach (and be reached by) citizens 24/7 through the development of mobile government (mGovernment). Current solutions for accessing mGovernment are based on Internet technologies that need a live connection to browse pages and use services. A J2ME client is proposed as an alternative solution that would allow for offline browsing of information and only connect to the Internet when a connection is required. The alternatives are compared using a time-to-task experiment. Several metrics were measured: memory load, bandwidth usage, packets sent and received, and total task time. |
