Course Description :

This course is devoted to the understanding of mobility and how mobile infrastructure makes e-commerce ubiquitous. Humans are increasingly mobile, and technology is enabling the increased mobility. The iPhone convergences telecommunications, computer, telephone, and Internet technologies. Bringing these industries together gives rise to the INFOTAINMENT (INFOrmation - enterTAINMENT) industry, which will be examined. New generation mobile devices (including the Google Phone MyTouch (android)) open the door for M-commerce. Hence, electronic commerce is becoming ubiquitous. Increasing connectivity is changing how and where we work - even the very notion of an employer is changing. Outsourcing is taking a new name with e-lancing and odesk.com. Nomadic Computing is taking new shapes. Wi-Fi in flights will be examined. Use of Quality of Service (QoS) in supporting voice, data, image and video traffic in the future Internet is studied. Ambient Intelligence, Context Sensitive Services (CSS), Location Based Advertising (LBA) and Augmented Reality will be explored. VoIP, IPTV, Triple Play, Quadruple Play, Multi Play, FiOS will be analyzed. Digitized patients' records, xRays, and MRIs are opening the doors for a Consumer-to-Healthcare (C2H) marketplace. Sharing information and ranking charities give rise to a Donor-to-Organization (D2O) marketplace which will be examined.
