| Summary: | Nowadays, in the competitive world, mobility plays an important role in the
business and daily lives. Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) is one of the most
actively developing areas in computer systems technology. PDAs start replacing
PCs especially where PCs and Internet/Network technology do no reach. PDAs
are being used to access, monitor, and control database management system of
organizations. This work investigates the issues involved in designing and
developing a PDA based client/server data collection system for an inventory
control of a hypermarket. This thesis also provides a comprehensive discussion on
the software and hardware aspects of the data collection system. Personal Digital
Assistant (PDA) module is used as a base unit in this research. Application
software has been developed for the PDA and PC. Interfacing the software
provides the system to function in a client server environment. The performance
of the system in terms of memory usage by the PDA and synchronization time has been studied, as these are important parameters from user point of view. Further
integration of PDA with wireless technologies and other peripheral devices are
discussed as future work of the research. |
