Abstract
The growing use of the Internet combined with new prospects provided by mobile technologies (e.g. mobile devices, mobile and wireless communication) are leading to major changes in our working and private life. People will be able to communicate anytime, anywhere and with anyone. Technological advances as well as the increased number of mobile applications drive a change in mobile end-user equipment. Smart mobile devices will be equipped with various communication technologies like GSM/GPRS, 802.11-WLAN, Bluetooth, NFC and RFID chips as well as GPS for location awareness. Mobile devices already offer a broad spectrum of functionalities including a web browser to access information resources anywhere, a JavaVM to download and execute mobile applications and an e-mail client to exchange digital content with anyone.
