The INTELLIGENT WIRELESS WEB
by
H. Peter Alesso
Cover Blurb: Written by two authors at
the forefront of the Internet revolution, The Intelligent Wireless Web presents
a fascinating, insightful vision of the Web's near future, with an overview
of the technologies that will make it possible. This book explores technology
developments in speech recognition, mobile wireless devices, network integration,
and software that will be far more responsive to our informational and transactional
needs.
The Intelligent Wireless
Web examines the convergence and synergy among five key technological components:
speech used as a primary user interface; wireless personal area networks (WPANs);
an integrated wired/wireless network infrastructure; supporting wireless protocols;
and intelligent applications. It investigates available technologies and standards
that are currently being developed to bring these goals into the mainstream
of Internet use
Inside you'll find an introduction
to a wide variety of topics, as well as an in-depth look at the fundamental
relationships between cutting-edge technologies such as:
- Speech recognition and
understanding text-to-speech generators, and Speech Synthesis Markup Language
(SSML)
- Personal Area Networks
(PANs), Bluetooth(TM), Jini(TM), and Universal Plug & Play
- Spread Spectrum, wireless
networks, and the IEEE 802.11 standard
- Wireless handheld devices
and third-generation TDMA and CDMA Mobile IP,
- Wireless Application
Protocol (WAP), and Wireless Markup Language (WML)
- Web Services, .NET, J2EE(TM),
SOAP, UDDI, WSDL, and XML
- Neural networks, adaptive
software, data mining, and agents Machine learning and Distributed Artificial
Intelligence Semantic Web Architecture
Ongoing research projects,
such as MIT's Project OXYGEN, are used throughout to illustrate elements of
the intelligent wireless Web in action. Appendixes present standards organizations,
mobile protocols, security issues, and a case study of knowledge management.
With an understanding of the trends, goals, and technologies described in The
Intelligent Wireless Web, you will be well-positioned to develop your own strategic
planning for the coming world of the ubiquitous Internet.
