Mobile application developers at GUC
MADs @ GUC
With the ambition of introducing a new generation of
mobile applications and services, we explore the new
platforms and technologies for mobile application
development, for example:
 Google’s Android,
 Symbian OS and UIQ Interface,
 Java-ME and its JSRs
Convergence??
The convergence of the mobile networks and the Internet has
opened up the door for a wide range of services. SIP, session
initiation protocol, is the enabling protocol for such convergence .
SIP establishes and controls multimedia communication sessions
over IP based networks. we explore several SIP based services to
make use of such converge, for example,
 integrating SIP services to the web,
 conferencing, or
 simple peer-to-peer mobile applications
(push-to-talk, instant messaging, etc).
Tag the Android
Personalising the browsing of files
or programs on the Android based
on the concept of a Tag cloud.
A tag cloud is a visual view of user
tags through which they are
displayed differently according to
some predefined characteristics
among them.
This project requires deep
understanding of the Android SDK
to design how to manage and
visualise the tags.
The Sociable Android
The OpenSocial is a set of
application programming
interfaces that allows
interoperability with several social
networks.
Developing a Plugin for the
Android that interoperates with
the OpenSocial can be a very
interesting add on.
The design should be generic to
work with other mobile platforms.
The student will explore mobile
application development and
interoperability through web
services.
mNotes
The aim of this project is to make use
of the multimedia capabilities of
mobile devices to capture moments
in working, learning or social
contexts.
This project involves two parts: the
mobile side and the server side
publishing system.
The student will study and develop
interoperability with publishing
systems and their APIs, such as
movabletype, blogger, typepad,
wordpress, etc.
Mobile MET
Building a mobile plugin for the MET
website (met.guc.edu.eg) that enables
interaction with its services.
Server side approach: using existing
mobile web mark-up technologies. A big
part of this task will be research and
experimentation with existing
techniques. Then a final implementation
of the selected technology will be
presented.
A dedicated client approach through a
Java-ME light weight browser.
Instant Feedback
In this project, you will develop
an instant response system
where you will allow a user
(speaker) to easily create a
simple question and broadcast
it to his audience.
The system will accept the
input from users and
automatically show the analysis
on the speaker's screen.Your
system should allow a related
sequence of questions (for
example, a quiz) to be created
and answered.You can
approach this idea through
Bluetooth messaging or 2 way
SMS.
Emulated Push-To-Talk
The Walkie-Talkie
In this project, we will emulate the push-totalk feature by using RTP streams and SIP calls
over Java-ME enabled devices.
We will use the SIP API that is released for use
over Java-ME to initiate peer to peer audio
streams. Push-to-Talk applications can be very
useful in several contexts where broadcasting
quick audio messages can be useful, again
similar situations as walkie talkie but through
making use of people's owned mobile devices.
There are some challenges associated with
memory limits for the audio recording and the
delay in initiating the SIP sessions.
