Mitt uppdrag var att åt Explizit (och Argentum, Explizits ägare) utveckla en Android-applikation som implementerar en del av deras bokningssystem Interbook för att låta användaren se sina anläggningar och vilka bokningar som fanns på dessa, samt utförlig information om bokningarna. Inloggning och hämtning av data (anläggningar, bokningar och så vidare) skulle genomföras mot en webtjänst. Appen utvecklades i två etapper, där den första etappen bestod av gränssnittet och kontroller för detta och den andra av kopplingen mellan klient och server.Jag kom igång med första etappen väldigt fort och det var egentligen inga större svårigheter i konstruktionen av det. Efter tre och en halv veckas arbete hade jag en någorlunda färdig variant av gränssnittet. Även om arbetet på det fortlöpte under resten av projektet, förflyttades då fokus från gränssnittet till etapp två i projektet.I andra etappen arbetade jag på kopplingen mellan klient och server.

Datormobiler (smartphones) har blivit ett populärt fenomen bland mobilanvändare. Det har dykt upp ett flertal stora aktörer på marknaden och i takt med att fler smartphones har utvecklats har också intresset för applikationsutveckling blivit större. En av dessa aktörer är Apple som idag har en betydande marknadsandel efter lanseringen av iPhone. Dock har Google tillsammans med Open Handset Alliance blivit en betydande konkurrent med deras mobila plattform Android.Syftet med denna uppsats är att göra en jämförande studie av applikationsutveckling för dessa plattformar. I detta ingår att undersöka plattformarnas programmeringsspråk med tillhörande aspekter, utvecklingsmiljöer, krav på utvecklaren och de ekonomiska aspekter som hör till utveckling och publicering.

When developing software that is meant to be distributed over several different computers and several different networks while still working together against a common goal there is a challenge in testing how updates within a single component will affect the system as a whole. Even if the performance of that specific component increases that is no guarantee for the increased performance of the entire system. Traditional methods of testing software becomes both hard and tedious when several different machines has to be involved for a single test and all of those machines has to be synchronized as well.This thesis has resulted in an exemplary application suite for testing distributed software. The thesis describes the method used for implementation as well as a description of the actual application suite that was developed. During the development several important factors and improvements for such a system was identified, which are described at the end of the thesis even though some of them never made it into the actual implementation.

Det här examensarbetet bygger vidare på en tidigare konstruerad prototyp, ett interaktivt konstprojekt där två plattor, placerade på en båge, med vattenmunstycken i mitten styrs med en joystick. Plattorna följer joystickens rörelse med hjälp av servomotorer. Målet i detta examensarbete var att koppla åskådarens smarta mobiltelefon till konstprojektet. Åskådaren ska kunna styra konstprojektet genom att vinkla sin mobiltelefon. Även vattenflödet ska kunna kontrolleras och all interaktion ska ske via trådlös kommunikation. Målet har uppnåtts genom att användaren installerar en applikation som skapats för operativsystemet Android. Applikationen skickar information om mobiltelefonens aktuella vinkelposition till en server via ett trådlöst nätverk.

In today?s computerized society more and more companies choose to utilize new applications that can ease the way of handling the information. For many of us is imperative that the process as efficient as possible if one takes in consideration the size of savings that this new application can bring.The developer of the evaluated system is SYSteam AB Huskvarna and they are the ones that gave us this assignment. The application that we evaluate is SCM (Secure Connection Manager). It is already used today by big companies such as Telia and Ericsson to search for errors in telephone servers placed all over the country.

?HEJO MAIL ? HTML och CSS för email? handlar precis som titeln antyder om användandet av HTML och CSS för att utforma e-postmeddelanden och är en undersökning över vilka standarder som finns eller åtminstone borde finnas. Viktiga fraser vid informationssökningen har varit ?Html Email?, ?Email Standards? och ?Email Programming?. Resultatet är tänkt att appliceras på HEJO MAIL, som är en applikation för utskick av nyhets- och informationsbrev som idag inte fungerar fullt ut.Resultatet är något förvånande då standarder specifikt för email saknas och har ersatts med rekommendationer, resultatet innefattar en sammanställning av rekommendationer från tre olika källor som valts ut.

The company System Andersson is developing systems for controlling materials and production in industries. They want to add a new service, where parts of those systems are accessible through cell phones.In this paper we are investigating which technology are best suited for this kind of application. And then we describe how we are developing a prototype fort this application, based upon that technology. After investigating technologies such as Java ME, Microsoft Silverlight, and web applications we settled upon building the system as a web application, customized for a mobile environment.To build a web page which is readable by many different cell phones we use the markup-languages which are developed for cell phones. We put much effort in reading about the standards and recommendations for the mobile web, produced by the organizations W3C and OMA.

Being physically active plays an essential role in ensuring good health and well-being. Motivation is a key factor for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and together with the help of today?s modern technology, facilitating new innovative approaches has made it easier to motivate people towards regular physical activity. This study aims to examine how a training application can increase motivation and how behavioral change occurs when using a training application. Qualitative data collection methods such as interviews and observations have been used in this study.

The purpose of this thesis was to examine if users of digital music games may acquire skills from the games that may be of use in learning to play a real instrument, that is a non-digitally simulated instrument like an acoustic piano. We have used Gee?s theory regarding a possible interconnection between different semiotic domains, and how this connection may enable a transfer of skills between related domains. In this thesis we examine possible skill transfer between the domains ?digital games? and ?non-digital instruments?. To examine our question formulation we chose to conduct a pilot study from which we collected both quantitative and qualitative data.

The PhonePages of Sweden is a company that develops software for mobile units, especially cell phones. This thesis treats the development of, and contingencies for, a mobile phone directory, using the limited resources found in a mobile unit. The project was implemented and executed at The PhonePages with the intention of creating a product to sell to a third party.By studying different solutions, their benefits and drawbacks, an abstract picture of the product was constructed. Problems covered include compatibility problems caused by todays platform diversity as well as problems with saving, organizing and presenting data.The main goal was to create a phone directory which does not make external information retrievals. The service should contain both company and personal information, with name and phonenumber.

The purpose is to analyze if the students have any use of their computer education at a senior high school level or if there is a demand for them to proceed studying. Does the students background have any importance or is it their own motivation that makes the student advance to higher education.In this report we ask ourselves the question, if the students have any use of the knowledge gained at senior high school in computer studies at a higher level. Do the students have any chance for employment based on their senior high school grades in computer studies after graduation?  Do the schools that follow the senior high school guidelines within programming and databases give these students an advantage towards those that have not received the same fundamental education?The method used for the survey is a group questionnaire.  The questionnaire was distributed at one and the same time and then collected to examine the results. The survey results showed that students who seek work based only on their senior high school grades, received only a temporary position for different lengths of time.

Teknikutvecklingen inom bilbranschen ökar i takt med konsumenters krav på multifunktionella system. Mobiltelefoner är ett vanligt inslag i konsumenternas vardag och används dessvärre även under bilkörning. Det finns ett tydligt samband mellan mobilanvändning bakom ratten och antalet trafikolyckor. Detta antal skulle kunna minska om infotainmentsystem kan erbjuda samma funktionalitet fast på ett mer trafiksäkert sätt. Det finns idag riktlinjer gällande användarupplevelse och trafiksäkerhet från Android och NHTSA.

The way we interact with computers will soon change dramatically. The input interfaces are becoming more and more intuitive and one of the latest technologies is a touch screen interface capable of dealing with multiple inputs simultaneously. The tools we use to communicate with the computer - such as the mouse and the keyboard, will slowly disappear and be replaced with tools more comfortable and more natural for the human being to use. The purpose of this project was to create a basic framework for future projects dealing with this interface, as well as creating some example programs. This report describes my work and my experiences with this new interface..
